Arriving at the restaurant where she was to meet Valerio, Evelyn paused at the glass door. She stared at it, frowned, and let out a defeated sigh.
Why was she even doing this again? It wasn't like she wanted to be here at all, but looking through the glass door, she could already see Valerio who was seated at one of the empty tables, legs crossed and waiting for her.
She let out a deep breath, pushed the door open, and stepped inside.
As soon as she approached, Valerio turned his head, rising to his feet with a big smile on his face.
"Evelyn, hi!"
"Hello." She offered him as much of a polite smile as she could.
Valerio being the gentleman that he was, pulled the chair out for her, and as she sat down, he didn't fail to notice just how casually she was dressed.
Did she not want to come at all? Why say yes then? Though to be fair, he'd been persuading her over and over again.
Maybe she came to make him stop.
Well, who cared? The point was, she came eventually.
