Shirley was taken aback, "You guys met up already?"
"Pure coincidence!" Audrey scoffed, "He was with Sylvia."
Shirley sensed a tone of bitterness in her voice and asked, "You know Sylvia?"
"My dad’s firm did a collab with her PR agency once, I've heard her name. True to the rumors, she’s quite a knockout."
Shirley picked up on the sour grapes in Audrey’s voice and chuckled lightly, "You haven't, you know, still got a thing for Gabriel, have you?"
Audrey snorted derisively, "What’s there to get over? It’s not like he was into me. I just think it’s hilarious how Gabriel’s hit rock bottom, letting a gal buy clothes for him. Pathetic!"
Shirley objected, "You've got it all wrong, Gabriel's not that type of guy!"
"Years have passed, people change!" Audrey pursed her lips coldly, "Anyhow, I've got things to do, gotta go."
"Sure, let's catch up sometime," Shirley offered politely.
"We'll see."
Audrey hung up abruptly.
She glanced once more in the direction Gabriel had left, gripping her phone tighter, suddenly filled with a sense of defiance.
That night
Gabriel, fresh from a shower, stood on the balcony smoking when Audrey’s call came through.
"It was quite the surprise seeing you today. I thought we’d never cross paths again in this lifetime," Audrey began, her tone feigning casualness.
Gabriel's voice was deep and distant as twilight, "The world's only so big. Bumping into each other is normal."
Audrey laughed softly, as if reminiscing with an old friend, "I’m still single. Had a few boyfriends, none right for me, all ended in nothing. What about you?"
Gabriel replied simply, "No one."
"That so?" Audrey chuckled lightly, "Looks like we're both the same, not keen on being tied down."
