Capítulo 143: Break a Neck

🅸🆂🅰🅱🅴🅻🅻🅰

When I walk back into the restaurant, everything is back to normal. The paramedics have already left, the couple is gone. The other guests are enjoying their meals and drinks. 

My eyes glide over the people until they stop at a very pretty young woman standing at the bar. 

She hasn't spotted me yet.

My heart starts beating faster and I take a deep breath, straighten my back and put on a smile before I walk over.

The bartender, who seems to be talking to my date, notices me first.

"Ah, there she is. I knew she hadn't left yet."

The woman turns to me, she looks relieved.

"Hi, I'm so sorry. I was using the bathroom and then a friend called, it was kind of important. I'm sorry you had to wait."

"It's alright, don't worry." A smile flashes over her slender, tanned face.

We hug awkwardly and I kiss her cheek.

"It's nice to meet you, Tegan. I'm Isabella."
