Point-of-View: Ilex Sarralot
———————————————————————————
Okay, just...just stay calm, getting nervous won't help me in any way whatsoever. I can do this...it's just a few words, I just need to get them out and then see how she responds. Y-yeah, it's simple, I-I can do this, I can do this...
I took in a deep breath and slowly exhaled to try and ease my nerves, but it wasn't working...I feel so on edge, my chest is pounding and my head kinda hurts too.
I was in a private booth in a bar, waiting for Mysst...I'd texted her to ask if she was free to meet up with me, she said she was, and agreed to meet me here in this bar.
She should be here any minute now, I need to get it together and calm down before she-...
"Ah, here you are, Ilex," Her voice suddenly came from my left, startling me, before she added, "Oh, sorry, didn't mean to spook you."
