My Bossy Secretary
While heading to the bus stop, Manny talked mostly of his granddaughter same age as Aliyah, and when the bus arrived, he got on with me, but as soon as I settled on my seat with my sister on my lap, Manny got off the bus, telling it wasn’t his way and explaining he only wanted to help me.
I leaned my head on the seat’s backrest, thanking heaven for helping me get through this day. As the bus was about to go, I turned my head outside the window, knitting my eyebrows as I thought if it was just my imagination that I saw Finn watching me from the opposite side of the road. I shut my eyes tighter and peered again but when I looked, he was no longer there.
