Spotting an empty table near the window, I made my way towards it, the sounds of clinking cutlery and murmured conversations filling the air.

I nodded, not wanting to go into any details with a stranger. “Yes, yes, I am.”

a sip of my orange juice and checked the time again. Mason was now fifteen minutes late. I sighed, feeling really annoyed with this. He was the one who had called me to meet him here, but now he was nowhere to be found. That man just loved doing sh*t; he kept thinking I was his puppet or something. Well,
