#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
partially to cool off. I’m not sure if Karl’s conversation with her was successful, but the knot in my chest
loosens when I see her.
“Hey,” I manage to say.
“Hey,” she replies softly.
Neither of us says anything for a moment. The silence is thick, full of the words we’d both hurled at
each other this morning. Finally, she breaks it. “Can I come in?”
“Of course.” I step aside, letting her enter.
The door clicks shut behind her, sealing us into this tiny bubble of a moment. I feel her arms wrap
around me, almost tentatively, as if she’s afraid I might pull away. But I don’t. I hug her back, tightly,
grateful for the chance to mend this fragile piece of our relationship.
“I’m sorry, Abby,” Chloe says into my shoulder. “I was out of line.”
“I’m sorry too,” I reply, feeling a twinge of guilt for the things I’d said earlier. “We both got carried away.”
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,
Chloe is like a sister to me, and that’s one thing you never turn your back on.
“So, you and Karl, huh?” Chloe finally says, her tone cautious.
