By the time Luna changed her clothes and came out from Cold Jazz Restaurant, all she saw was the taillights of Joshua's black Masevati.
The car disappeared and turned into a black dot just seconds later.
Luna stared in the direction of the car before a twinge of disappointment seeped through her heart.
