Chapter 31: Overdue Apology

Alex spotted Devon the second she stepped out of the hotel. The other woman was in a well-tailored black pants and white blouse ensemble. Her eyes were obscured by oversized black sunglasses and she had a huge designer purse slung over her arm as she typed away on her phone.

"Hey," Alex called as she walked over. "I hope you haven't been waiting too long."

"Not at all," Devon reassured her with a bright smile as she put her phone away and slid her sunglasses up onto her head. "Are you ready?"

"Sure," Alex answered with a smile. The two women fell in line with each other and quietly walked the few blocks to the cafe Alex had mentioned.

Alex held the door open for Devon as they reached "Mandy's Corner". Devon smiled in thanks and breezed in, stopping a foot or so away from the counter as she studied the menu. Alex stood beside her and waited patiently, already knowing what she was getting.
