I don't even know you and besides, it's my name. I'm pretty sure I know what my name is, so I've got to go like I said my boyfriend's waiting for me." I hope I sound confident because I don't feel it. I walk away. "You know, I'm pretty sure you're not here with your boyfriend," the guy said.

I threw everything away, then ran to the restroom and threw up until my throat burned. When I finally came out and pushed the door open, a glass of water appeared in front of me. Following the glass upward, I saw a slender, pale arm. Myra looked at me with concern and asked if I was okay. I shook my head. Then she suddenly asked, "Have you ever tried that bakery up north?"
