I Am The Luna

Chapter 0366

“Sorry.” She apologises, taking the seat opposite me gracefully.

She tilts her head, her gorgeous locks tumbling over her shoulder as she picks up her coffee mug. “I’m not sure. I don’t want my being here to make things worse,” she answers softly.

My stomach sinks and I shake my head. “Never. I’m happy you’re here and I’m asking you so we can plan some nights out.“‘

I chuckle. “You’re right, honestly, I’m too old for all the partying, but who said anything about clubbing? We can go for dinner and go shopping. The theatre even. And we’ll be back in time. See? We can make it work.”

“I like the sound of that. I have the full day here tomorrow and I’m leaving the following morning, so we’ll do something after work tomorrow.”
