Clara was now sitting where Jo had told her. To be honest, Clara herself was suspicious of Jo, who said that Marvin was late, and for that reason, she had to wait. As long as she could remember being in a film with Marvin, the young man had never been a bit late.
Then why is he late today?
Did Jo lie to her? But why would Jo lie? Or is Marvin in trouble?
That's what immediately occurred to Clara as she tried to guess what had happened.
"Ah, you're here. I was looking for you," said Tisha, handing Clara a cup of hot chocolate.
"Thank you," replied Clara.
Tisha just nodded her head and sat on the empty seat next to Clara.
"What happened? Was Marvin really that late?" Clara asked, curious about the awkwardness she felt.
Tisha gulped her saliva harshly. This time she should be able to be natural, right?
