Nora sat in a cafe, nervously mixing her tea as she waited for Lila.
Nora's focus was just entirely on the woman who was about to walk through the door.

Lila said as she raised an eyebrow and very surprised.
"What about them?" Nora's breath was caught but she kept her expression very neutral.

"What are you talking about?" Nora said, her mind was racing.
