Priscilla arrived on time at La Belleza. The restaurant was jam-packed, with customers eagerly chatting and savoring their meals. She scanned the room, searching for a familiar face among the crowd. Suddenly, her heart skipped a beat as she spotted Jude at a corner table, his dark eyes meeting hers with a smile that made her knees weak.
Priscilla carefully made her way through the maze of tables, feeling the weight of anticipation building inside her with each step closer to him. When she finally reached his table, Jude stood and pulled a chair.
"I'm so glad you're here," he said softly, sending shivers down her spine.
Priscilla found herself studying Jude intently as they sat across from each other in a secluded corner of the restaurant. His features were more refined than she remembered, his confidence unwavering as he discussed the intricacies of the case.
