Facade of Love

Chapter 360 Running into Trouble

Regardless of what was up with Emily and Liam, I knew better than to pry into a couple’s private business.

Therefore, I let it be.

We had not been walking long when we hit the night market, a place alive with energy and packed with people. Stalls were everywhere, each one bursting with colorful toys and mouth- watering eats. Tourist girls from out of town were decked out in chic, exotic outfits, their makeup on point as they snapped pics and explored.

I loved looking at both beautiful men and women, but women especially captivated me. I could not help but sneak peeks as we walked past them. The crowd was dense. Several times, I nearly lost Emily in the shuffle.

Inevitably, we did get split up after just five minutes. I blamed it on a stall with awesome figurines that caught my eye. I was so curious that I just had to stop for a better look.

The vendor caught me staring and called out, “Looking for a lighter? They make great gifts for boyfriends!”

I snapped back to reality and peered closer at the stall’s array of quirky trinkets. “All these are lighters?”
