"A friend of my boss?" I thought to myself as I watched Chloe walk away.
So what if she's a friend of Jake? Why did she have to announce it to me?
I just couldn't understand what had just happened and I spent the next few minutes, trying to figure that out. When I finally got myself back, I pushed my cart to the front, paid and left the store.
By the time I got home, it was already late. Everything felt quiet and hollow. I shut the door behind me, locking it out of instinct, and dropped my keys on the entryway table. It was just another day, or so I thought.
