*I am outside.*
Ayana's phone vibrated with a message popping up on the home screen. She was almost done with her meal as her gaze glanced to the screen and she read the words.
'He's not coming inside?' Her eyes flashed with confusion as she sipped some water, and wiped her lips gently with the folded napkin.
Ayana got up and quickly put on her winter gloves and winter coat over her turtle neck sweater. She slipped her phone in her purse and walked out of the VIP room.
A nearby hostess led her to the entrance of the restaurant, and Ayana stepped outside into the familiar cold. When she did not see her fiancé's vehicle parked in the former spot of hers, her confusion deepened until she heard a familiar voice.
''Over here.''
Ayana snapped her gaze to the side where she saw a man grinning warmly at her from a small distance. Surprise flickered in her eyes as she took his good-looking visage in the black winter coat.
