#Chapter 73: A Feeling
Abby
My hand freezes on the spreadsheet I’m working on when I hear a knock on my door. A soft, hesitant
one that’s almost drowned out by the evening chatter of the restaurant. My heart instantly jumps to my
throat. Is it Karl? Has he decided to make another appearance?
But when I open the door, it’s Chloe standing there, her eyes hesitant but earnest.
We’ve kept our distance today, partially because of the insane lunch and dinner rush, but I think also

The door clicks shut behind her, sealing us into this tiny bubble of a moment. I feel her arms wrap

“I’m sorry, Abby,” Chloe says into my shoulder. “I was out of line.”

We pull away and Chloe takes a seat, her eyes scanning my face as if searching for something—
perhaps a sign of residual anger or a lingering grudge. But she won’t find any. At the end of the day,

“So, you and Karl, huh?” Chloe finally says, her tone cautious.
