A week had past since Emily's breakup with Jake. Because the payment for rent for her hotel would expire in two week's time, Emily stayed a whole week waiting that some magic would happen. She was to leave that weekend and after waiting a few days, she realized that she might have lost Jake for real this time.
It was a Friday and she already summoned all confidence to leave by Sunday. She was out at the mall, wanting to get stuff for dinner that day when she bumped into a man. A familiar one at that. He adjusted his shirt well and raised his dark shade to tuck behind his ears and raised on his head. Then before she knew it, he was grinning foolishly.
Emily only frowned and forced herself from his sight when he pulled her back. "What the hell, Emily? Don't you recognize me anymore?" Mario asked. He was still smiling confidently, Emily noticed.
