Adrienne sat at the restaurant, savoring each mouthful of the delectable pasta dish she had ordered. She hadn't planned on dining alone, but an unexpected change in plans with Ryan led her to venture out to the hotel restaurant solo.
"Food truly has its way of healing the soul," she remarked with a contented smile, raising her forkful of pasta to her lips.

"Remember me?" he asked, his voice filled with disdain.
Adrienne stared at him for a moment, trying to place the face.
