Chapter 28: External Wounds

Luci’s POV:

If a sinkhole were ever to open up and swallow me deep into the earth, this would be the moment I’d be fine with it happening.

I wanted to run out of the shop and back to my apartment, barricade myself inside and never open the door again.

It was bad enough that I already didn’t want to be on this sham of a date to begin with, but if there was any way to make this situation worse, this was it.

How the h*ll was I supposed to know that my mate worked here?

My brain scrambled back to every conversation I’d ever had with Gavin, hoping for some mention of where he worked, only for me to realize I never asked him to begin with.

I’m such an idiot.

I felt movement behind me and preemptively swatted another attempt by Alex to put his arm around my waist.

Gavin went back to helping the next group that was waiting to place their order. The other barista behind him was hurriedly making drinks and bagging piping hot breakfast sandwiches.
