209-Fine! Let's Kiss!

The lady had left the café after telling me everything that I needed to know for now. The alarm bells were ringing in my head, as even I thought something was not quite right in the story Lord Vasquez had been telling everyone.

I had been thinking weirdly all this time. I returned to the kitchen where Pamela and Maura were and noticed how silent and distant Maura was from any of US.

I was shocked that Pamela never told me anything about her mate being killed by a weredragon. I did know her mate was Lord Vasquez’s loyal servant once, but that's about it.

I stayed silent for a while, and then, when Pamela left to attend to the customers, I approached Maura, who had burned the third pancake in a row because she was too lost in a pool of her own thoughts.

"It seems like your mission is to make sure nobody eats here today." I joked, rubbing her elbow to get her attention.

"Today was my birthday," she said to herself, staring at the empty wall with tears in her eyes. I understood that maybe that's why she was so down.

"You should have told US, but worry not. The day is not over yet. We will celebrate it," I said, taking a deep breath of relief now that I knew it wasn't something too seriously.

“No! I —don't want to celebrate anymore," she excused and walked out of the kitchen in such a hurry that I couldn't argue with her anymore.
