Susan took me to a Western restaurant.
The location was cheap, but the environment was quiet and there were many people here.
I looked around, and almost every table looked to be occupied by a man and a woman.
It seemed that this was a popular place for lovers.
If the food was delicious, I could come here again with Theo someday.
The waiter came over to help us with our order. She smiled at Susan sweetly. "Miss Ladder, I finally see you again. I haven't seen you for a while."
Susan responded with a smile while she flipped through the menu. "Yeah, I haven't been here for a long time. This is my friend."
She pointed to me.
The waiter also greeted me before turning to Susan." What about your partner? Is he not coming today?"
With just a question, Susan was stunned.
I saw her fingers that were holding onto the menu page tremble for a moment before then calming down.
She looked calm and at ease as usual. She pursed her lips and smiled. "Well, he didn't come. I'll have the usual. Wanda, how about you?"
"Ah, I..." I had not stopped observing Susan, so when I heard her voice, I could not help being a little stunned. I looked at her after I recovered. "I'll have the same as you."
After the waiter left, I asked, "Did she mean Tyler?"
I regretted the question the moment I asked it since I clearly knew the answer.
"I'm sorry."
