The Scent of 146

After hanging up, Celeste went back to work.

After a full mental workout, she was already feeling much better.

At that moment, Matthias called. “Wanna hang out?”

Half an hour later, Celeste arrived at the bar.

Matthias came out to meet her and asked, “Want a drink?”

Celeste hesitated for a second before saying, “Yeah, a little.”

Matthias leaned in to take a closer look at her. “Not in a good mood?”

“I’m much better now.”

Matthias didn’t press further and ordered her a low alcohol cocktail.
