Ordering a glass of sparkling wine, I tried to drown out the rapid emotions churning within me.
Suddenly, Joseph appeared before me, looking a bit shy as he stood tall before me in his three-piece suit. "Is it weird that I followed you out here? Sorry, I overheard your conversation with your dad," he said, his voice gentle and tentative.
I looked up at him, surprised by his presence but grateful for the company. "Oh, hey. Hi. No, not weird at all," I replied, taking a sip of my drink.
