"Nicky," she said with an awkward grin. She was caught off guard and rendered speechless other than calling his name, she found no words to deny what he was implying.
She didn't follow him because if she knew that he would be here, she wouldn't accept January's invitation to attend this art exhibit.
Dominic doesn't like visual arts. He was the last person she expected to see in this kind of place. Thus, it came as a surprise to see him here. Not to mention that a few hours ago they just saw each other. She cried like a crazy human inside a taxi and let the taxi driver judge her through the rearview mirror.
So, to say that he doesn't want to see Dominic now was an understatement.
Dominic took a step forward, drinks in hand, a smile that could melt a weak resolve was playing on his lips, and Laurie is nothing but weak.
