I was gone maybe three minutes

She was nowhere to be found

I looked left, right, center

I started shaking

And then I saw her appear fro in the air like she was irritated

And then she locked eyes with ain How could someone be so pretty up close? It didn’t even look like she earing makeup!

Her black leather dress was super chic; her red knee-high boots looked like she’d plucked theazine cover

She shoved her phone back in her light blue purse I frowned at the design; a Barbie-typeface was pressed on the front It looked ed-up black suitcase I was currently rolling in her direction

To what appeared like her absolute horror

Great first impression, Grace!

“Isfor her answer

She bit down on her glossy lower lip “No”

Don’t panic, obviously she worked for hi me to see him?”

She said solish She pressed her perfectly ertips to her forehead and whimpered

“Are you okay?”

“You ask a lot of questions” She nodded her head in finality and turned on her heel like she wasdecisions for both of us “This way”

She was a fast walker

I struggled to keep up with her as I balancedoff the curb and into onco traffic

A black Honda Sedan had its trunk already open The driver didn’t ask for e He just approached and took it from me

The door was already open in the back, so I got in whilelike the world would end if she didn’t go fast enough

I buckled up and leaned forward “Hey, what’s your name?”

She squeezed her eyes shut and then stared straight ahead; either she couldn’t remember what it was, or she didn’t want to tell me

I was betting on the latter

“Solia” She stiffened in her seat as the driver took off at an alar from other cars

I gripped the door handle “That’s pretty”

“Thank you”
