"What the hell happened?!" Erin blurted out in wide-eyed astonishment.
Zoe shrugged her shoulders as she checked herself in the mirror. "So? We're not here for him. We had a satisfying meal, and it's great to be with you again!" She glimpsed at Erin and clasped her hand.
But Erin was thinking otherwise as she sulked her gloomy face in her palms and put her elbow on the table. She let out a deep sigh. "What put flavor in this meal and made it savory is his presence in front of us."
In a flash, she snapped her fingers as she remembered Raigon's last words. "He's coming back, right?"
Zoe twitched her lips and narrowed her eyes. "Expectations hurt." She drew out every syllable.
She was used to people leaving her that this does not affect her at all. No matter how considerate and thoughtful he may seem, she knew that like the others, he would soon leave. And she has been adapting well. This man is not an exception.
