A long awaited dinner

When I moved to The Bronx, I dreamt of community especially with those I lived with and frequent dinners that connected and centered us together. That dream was pretty much squelched right away. Tonight however, my roommates and I had a dinner together (I believe our third total in nine months), and it was their idea! They even paid for the pizza since I'm so broke from living on unemployment. Really wish this would happen more often here!
