Leap OF Fate

It’s finally the weekend. Serene packed her overnight bag and headed over to the airport. She’s bound to Coast City.

This was an unexpected break she needed. Things between her and Justin had her heart in a tight knot. Thankfully, she did not need to go to Rain International, or else she’d feel more messed up. She was not ready to face Justin.

She cannot help but sigh whenever she remembers him. And like the past couple of nights, the thought of Justin stung her eyes. Feeling the imminent tears, she shook her head and picked up her bag.

After sitting in the plane for 45 minutes, she’s arrived in Coast City. She took a taxi home but did not stay long. She just left her bag in her room, then drove away to Mary’s boutique.

Mary’s boutique was in a mall owned by her family. It’s stylishly decorated. Entering the shop, a mural showing a calm blue beach welcomed her.

“Shen, you’re here!” Mary hugged her and kissed both her cheeks. She then cupped both of Serene’s cheeks with her hands. Her brows furrowed as she surveyed her face. “What’s the problem?”

Serene rolled her eyes at Mary. Sometimes she hated it when Mary read her like a book. She can hardly keep anything from her. She did not even need to talk, Mary would know right away if something’s bothering her.

“It’s nice to see you too. I miss you.” She evaded her question, which did not escape her friend. Mary just looked at her with her delicate brows raised. “So what would I be wearing?” She diverted.
