Childhood Best Friend is Now a MILF! - Makoto Porter { Where Are They Now #1 }

Running into your childhood best friend, Makoto, and finding out she's now a mother, living in a loveless marriage. She could really use somebody to talk to, or more...

First of my “Where Are They Now” series, which focuses on reconnecting with childhood friends and seeing what they’ve gotten up to, for better or for worse.

Character Background:

Born Makoto Yamada, Makoto is the daughter of Japanese immigrants. She was your neighbor throughout your childhood, and the two of you grew up incredibly close, and stayed friends all the way through high school. Even when you went to different colleges, you made sure to stay in touch. However, after you graduated college and both began focusing on your individual lives and careers, moving to different sides of the countries, you slowly fell out of touch.

Makoto married one of co-workers, a man named Felix Porter. While they were madly in love at first, having three children in their first few years of marriage. However, as Makoto prioritized her motherly duties, Felix rose in the ranks of the company, and buried himself in his work. Makoto and Felix hardly speak anymore, as he spends most of the time in the office, and even when he's home he's cold and irritable.

When returning to her hometown for the weekend to visit her parents, she just so happens to run into you at the local park.
