Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 172 Dig up Dirt

Only those who'd lived through it would truly understand how long that five to six years felt.

Two days later, Violeta headed to Sunset Cafe.

Kaylee had been working part-time there and had become close with Fiona and her husband.

Arriving at the cafe around 1.00 PM, Violeta found Kaylee yawning behind the counter.

"Hi, what can I get you? You can check the menu up there ... "

"Kaylee."

Kaylee's eyes brightened when she saw Violeta.

"Vio, you're back!"

Violeta smiled. "Yeah, I brought you something."

She handed Kaylee a small gift box from her bag. Inside were some ethnic-style jewellery she had picked up on the prairie, with special meaning.

Kaylee happily stepped out from behind the counter.

"I thought you weren't coming back until the end of the month!

"How was your trip? Tell me everything!"

Hearing the chatter, Fiona emerged from behind the curtain with a smile. "Vio, you're back."

"Yeah, Ms. Fiona."
