Hailey had thought about what it would be like the next time she saw Owen, but the never imagined it would be like this

Now, she stood there, frozen, her expression blank.

It seemed like Owen didn’t even notice her. He turned his head, his face soft at he spoke to Gracie.

She couldn’t hear a word they were saying–her mind was too focused on him.

She stared at Owen for what felt like an eternity before his gaze finally met hers.

“You two know each other?” Gracie asked, unable to hold back as she watched their eyes lock.

Hailey snapped back to reality and noticed Gracie’s arm hooked around Owen’s. What’s their relationship?

“We know each other, but we’re not close,” Owen’s indifferent voice cut through the air and pierced Hailey’s heart.

It felt like a sharp pain, as if her chest was being squeezed.

She forced a smile and said to Gracie, “Yes, not close. Thanks for the jacket, Miss Burke. I have to go now, there’s something I need to take care of.”

“Well, alright then, Miss Dalton. See you next time,” Gracie replied, her smile warm.

Hailey’s expression remained unchanged, her demeanor calm as she walked past them.

As she passed by, she heard Owen’s low, gentle voice calling her name. “Hailey…”

Her steps faltered, but her mind immediately raced to one thought: He’s not calling me.

She lowered her head and quickened her pace.

“Hailey!” Kaiden rushed out from the private room, worry in his eyes as he approached her. “Are you alright?”

Hailey shook her head. “I’m fine. A kind lady lent me her jacket. Let’s go inside.”

Kaiden eyed the jacket she was wearing, annoyed at himself for being late. He could only accompany Hailey back into the private room.

Dinner passed in a blur. Hailey couldn’t remember how she finished her meal, but she was smiling through the whole thing.
