Emiko is a woman I met through a mutual friend, and we've gone out drinking together a few times before. Since she has several children, our relationship wasn't one where I could casually invite her out. However, she mentioned that things aren't going well with her husband, who doesn't interfere with her going out to drink. Their marriage might be in a rough spot as a result. Tonight, Emiko was supposed to attend a drinking party, but as the meeting time approached, the other person who was supposed to join us canceled due to feeling unwell. In the end, it became just Emiko and me spending the evening together.
