chapter 12

***Hi! This book is under MAJOR revision, so some things might not add up in the next chapters. Please read on with this in mind.

Vren swirled the wine in his glass as he gaze at the empty seat across him. Audrey has been in the bathroom for quite some time and he’s starting to get worried. She’s excused herself twice, okay, make that thrice and this time Audrey took a little longer. He wanted to flee to her side when he saw her reappearing from the ladies’ room, looking paler than she did the second time she went in the bathroom.

“Hey, you okay?” He was up to his feet, ushering her back to her seat. He was surprised when she allowed him to.

She murmured something that sounded like a ‘thank you.’ She reaches for the glass of water and sips on it. “I’m fine.”

Vren flops back down to his seat, perusing her. “The last time you told me that it nearly gave me a heart attack.”

“I won’t faint.” She rolled her eyes.

“You know, we can just go. You’re tired.”
