Chapter 35 Encounter

Meryl hopped into a cab and made her way to the bar, her heart racing with concern for Anne.

It was a classy spot, a far cry from the raucous places where chaos reigned. Soft music floated through the air, setting a mellow mood.

Anne was still a little tipsy, her eyes glazed over as she cradled her face in her hands.

"What are you doing here? Isn't today your wedding day?" Anne asked, squinting at Meryl.
