With brisk steps he was out the door and made Hunter confirm the fact Tai had called him weird to be true. Hunter was about to put the money into the cash register when he found the note in it. ‘reservation for table 14 by 9:50pm’ “if we aren’t closed already” He muttered in response to his letter. “Take care of yourself okay?” Jeanie said to Louisa with her hands cupping her little face. They were outside the hotel room saying their final goodbyes to each other in the windy night. The baby girl nodded affirmatively and had a bright smile on her face.

He also looked at it, but immediately returned his gaze on me. ///♡/// More updates later at 8pm PH time. Stay tuned! xoxo ♡

I wasn't as surprised as Steph when she broke the news of her engagement with Daniel to us a few weeks ago, I'm just concerned about his safety because Lisa is quite the impatient one and no guy I know of has been able to withstand her craziness. "He said 9pm but he is currently ten minutes late" she replied checking her phone again. "He is just ten minutes late not an hour, calm your tits ma'am" I chided her playfully and that earned me a vicious glare. My phone vibrated softly and I peered at it to see a message from Mr Hyde. Mr Hyde: where are you? Me: with friends. Mr Hyde: who? Me: my friends Our banter went on for about a minute and I was smiling widely oblivious of the glare Lisa was

"So? Divorce done?" Evan rubbed his nose and chuckled. "More or less…" After all, it was only the registration. There was still a thirty-day cooling-off period. Sylvie's smile widened. "Well then, Evan… can I chase after you openly now?" Evan nodded. "You can." It marked the moment he officially returned to being single—anyone was free to pursue him. Sylvie lit up with delight. "Get in!" The sports car roared to life and sped off into the distance.

I looked back at the second phone. At the gap. At the messages around it. Then— I noticed something else. Not in the words. In the timing. Before the gap. Messages came instantly. After the gap.

She loved the Mondays less but had made peace with them. This Friday he was late. Not worrying late, texting late. She’d had the message at 4PM. Ryder: “Student stayed after. Running forty minutes behind.” She’d replied: “I’ll start dinner.” Ryder: “Don’t start without me.” Mia: “Then be on time.” Ryder: “Forty minutes.” Mia: “I know what forty minutes means.” Ryder: “It means I’ll be there.” She’d put the phone down.

Then I realized he was staring back also and moved quickly to dispose of the almost empty cup of smoothie. I knew he was watching as I rinsed it clean ,we fell silent momentarily. “Thank you .really”I said breaking the silence and also knowing that he was waiting for my reply. He was kind of giving me a whiplash. With three weeks gone ,he wouldn’t even look at the path that I threaded on and now he was enjoying my cup of smoothie late at night. He nodded,muttered a goodnight and was gone. I released a deep breath that I didn’t know I was holding .

Closer. Much closer.
