"Andrew!" I blurted out before fully comprehending the situation, and I swiftly enveloped him in a hug, my surprise evident. It felt like it had been forever since I set my eyes on him.
He paused for a moment before reciprocating the hug, albeit with a hint of confusion.
"It's wonderful to see you, Andrew," I exclaimed with enthusiasm, while he regarded me with an awkward expression, raising an eyebrow in complete surprise.
"We literally hung out yesterday. Literally. What's gotten into you, Una?" He teased, and I straightened up, feeling a tad embarrassed by my somewhat unusual display of emotion.
"So, were you following me?" I inquired, steering the conversation in a different direction, and I cast a cautious glance in the direction where the fiery creature had been, just to ensure my safety.
Funny. It was no longer there. Maybe I had hallucinated it after all.
Hallucinated…..hmm.
