Veronica steadied her breath. "It's the woman who used to meddle in my brother and Ellinor’s love life. She should be in prison now! How could she possibly be out here for me to see?!"
Moran, not quite understanding the details, still tried to comfort her. "Could you have mistaken her for someone else?"
Veronica was now doubting herself too. She could have seen wrong.
By all means, that woman shouldn't have been released this early!
It better not be her! Sophia was already disturbing Ellinor and her brother’s lives. With another wrench in the works, who knew when things will ever settle?
As she was muttering to herself, ready to head to the movies with Moran, she suddenly saw Patricia Howard in the coffee shop behind Moran, chatting with a man.
She widened her eyes to make sure, but it was indeed Patricia.
The same Patricia, who had done so many bad things.
When did she get out of jail?
Moran, seeing his girlfriend frozen in place, followed her gaze and saw Patricia too, though he didn't recognize her.
Perhaps feeling the stare from outside the window, the woman inside looked out.
Quick to avoid being spotted, Veronica dove into Moran's arms, burying her face so Patricia couldn't recognize her.
The woman inside, seeing a young couple hugging outside, thought nothing of it and continued her conversation with the man across from her.
Veronica quickly pulled Moran into a less obvious spot in the corner and continued to observe Patricia stealthily.
