She meant it when she said she was going to pursue him. At that moment, her heart was in it.

But Felix gently pushed her away, picked up a bottle of water from the ground, and offered it to her lips.

"Drink up."

Did he think she was drunk?

Carol found the notion amusing, her lips curling into a smile as she looked up at him.

"Hey, for real, you don't have a girlfriend, do you?"

"How many jobs you working? Where at? I'll swing by when I'm free, maybe bring you a burger or something."

Chasing someone usually meant persistence. To Carol, Felix seemed like a clean slate, likely to cave in after just a few days of her

relentless attention.

That was her plan, anyway.

But she had misjudged him. Felix put the water bottle in her hand and walked away without a backward glance.

Surprised, Carol sprinted after him.
