We got in ers were intertwined with mine the whole drive, but e arrived at the café, she let go and hurried inside I frowned and followed her I wondered if she didn’t want to be seen holding my hand in public, but I knew better than to question it

“Large cinnao,” Julie ordered “Please and thank you, Sarah”

Sarah nodded and turned to me “The usual, Michael?”

“Please” I nodded and pulled my wallet out of my back pocket

“I got it,” Julie said firmly Her hand was already buried inside her purse

“Julie…” I began, but she silenced me with a look

“You’ve bought me two meals now,” she said “Please Let me treat”

I shrugged “If you insist”

“I do” She smiled and slid her debit card over to Sarah

It was nice in a way Most woe I already knew Julie was nothing like those women, but it was still a nice little reminder

“I’ll call you later,” I said as she slid out of the car

She smiled back at me “Bye”

I watched her until she disappeared into her house, her hips swaying seductively from side to side
