Farewell (2)

After checking the time of her train, Vera dragged Neven into a random cafe. She didn't have enough time to look for a fancy restaurant, and she had changed her idea about using the card from the agency.

She wanted to buy him lunch with her own money. It only felt right since he was kind to her. He even went to fetch her things - even though to show her how much energy he could have. She wouldn't have been able to get up and do everything alone, that day! True, it was mostly his fault, but...

«Is it fine here?» she asked.

She barely had two hours before the train arrived. Just the time to eat and greet Neven.

She wasn't clear why he was staying with her till the end, but it felt nice. If only it wasn't destined to end, she would have relaxed and let him spoil her a little.

However, she had to remember they weren't a couple. It would be easier to survive if she didn't fall into the temptation of imagining a future with him.
