He said that he'd be meeting his 'babe' today, and I would most definitely like to meet her. If the truth was as I'd imagined, our relationship would have run its course. An hour later, a lady with a beautiful face and an exquisite fashion taste strutted into Neil's office. I headed over, standing outside while pretending to fetch a drink from the pantry. The door was ajar, and I could hear laughter from within. "I missed you so much, dear. And you look gorgeous in that sweater—black really suits you a lot."

They were never coming at all. So this time, watching Derek hold Lessie close as they walked away, I didn't even shed a tear. The clerk shot me an awkward look, and her voice was full of pity as she asked, "Are you still going to wait, child?" I supposed the last time I had waited at the city hall from dawn until midnight left quite a deep impression on the staff members. I shook my head. "No, I'm not waiting for him anymore."

They soon set off to the diner and Hailey relaxed back on the car's seat while keeping her eyes closed. And her thoughts wandered again. Kendrick hadn't called her since yesterday. Would he call her today? And could she keep waiting for him to call her first? Urgh! What was wrong with her? What had that man done to her?

He gave her a small nod. “We’ll have you out of here soon. Just hang in there.” As he knocked for the guard, Carolina leaned back in the chair, exhausted but no longer alone. Hope was stirring.
