Izzy walked into the coffee shop and immediately caught sight of Monica, who was seated in the far corner. The atmosphere was warm and inviting–sofi yellow lights bathed the room, blending with the low hum of conversation and the comforting scent of freshly brewed coffee, Despite the peaceful ambiance, Monica stuck out like a sore thumb.

She wore a sleek black dress, almost too formal for a place like this, as if it could somehow hide the exhaustion etched into her face. Dark circles ringed her eyes, the kind even expensive makeup couldn’t fully conceal. Her complexion was pale, almost sickly, stark against her meticulously styled hair. Yet, despite plenty of other empty seats scattered throughout the café, Monica had chosen that isolated corner, as though she wanted to melt into the shadows and avoid being noticed.

Izzy walked over to Monica, who offered a tight smile and gestured toward the seat opposite her.

“I already ordered something for you,” Monica announced.

Izzy raised an eyebrow and called the nearby waiter.

“Cancel whatever she ordered,” she said firmly.

The waiter hesitated. “Unfortunately, the order can’t be canceled anymore.”

“Fine, throw it away,” Izzy replied coldly. “I’ll pay for it, and I’d like a fresh cup of coffee instead. Brewed, no sugar or milk.”

Monica’s eyes narrowed, her forced smile fading.

“Really?” Monica asked, irritation slipping into her voice.

Izzy leaned forward slightly.“You know better than anyone why I wouldn’t trust a drink you ordered.”

Monica’s expression soured further, but she said nothing. The waiter returned with a new cup of coffee, setting it gently on the table before departing.

Monica broke the silence after a moment, studying Izzy with a sharp glance.

“You look different.”

Izzy smirked faintly and took a slow sip of her coffee.
