Chapter 43: Just Seeing Him Again

I pulled my car in front of my favourite coffee shop and parked. Most days, I would stop here to get coffee before I go to work. They sell the best coffee, and a cup of warm espresso was a welcome comfort to start my day before work.

When I entered the coffee shop, it was buzzing with people getting their early morning drink. Most times, at this hour, it is not crowded, but today, it was because it was a Monday. I checked my watch to see that it was 7:15am. I didn't mind the long line now, though, because I still had forty-five minutes before I should get to work.

When I was at the front of the line, I gave my order and then took my coffee. When I turned to leave, I stopped dead in my tracks. Standing a few feet away from me was Tyler. His attention was focused on throwing away his coffee cup at the disposal garbage bin, so he didn't see me. However, that wasn't for long because as soon as he was finished, he looked up and saw me too.
