I breathed a long sigh of relief. When I was ready to go home, I saw the seafood restaurant across the street and felt a stuffy sensation in my heart.
When Theo called me, I hung up straight away because I did not really want to answer it.
Forget it. Maybe I should take a walk before I headed back.
It would be easy for Theo and I to get into an argument if I headed back now without relieving my frustrations.
I wandered leisurely on the streets.
The sky was gloomy, and dark clouds loomed over my head. After a few strikes of thunder, the sky started drizzling.
It was not exactly a drizzle because my clothes were soon soaked.
I ran into an alley but could not find the way out. I felt a little flustered after a short while.
Just as I was ready to take out my phone to use the GPS, a man appeared in front of me.
I looked at him, and after freezing for several seconds, a name appeared in my head.
Franky!
What was he doing here?
I clasped my hands together and forced myself to calm down. I greeted him, "It's been a while.”
He looked at me, his black eyes were so dark it could ooze out a drop of ink. "It's been a while, Ms. Lane.”
