"Your friend! what was her name.. yea Noora! she took her to your apartment with her just a few minutes ago!" Hearing the officer Anna gulp down a deep breath in relief which was stuck in her throat, laying her head back she closed her eyes
While the officer stands and there looking at her calm face, her closed eyes with her upper lip apart a little from her lower lip as her breathing was still unstable, she wasn't fine, she looked miserable
