I couldn't shake off that aching feeling in my chest and before my mind could fully register the situation, my legs were pushing me forward and I was running out of the door. The image of the woman wrapping her arm around Xavier remained at the back of my mind the entire time, as if to haunt me.
I found myself standing at the very same spot in the picture I once saw on the screen of my phone. I was standing in the hotel lobby, the sounds of chatter filled the air and my eyes darted around searching for a familiar face in the sea of crowd that surrounded me.
I couldn't see him anywhere and for a moment, I started to believe that maybe I was overthinking it and that maybe that picture wasn't even him to begin with. What's worse, it could even be a doctored image for all I knew.
But I soon realised I wasn't overthinking and that the picture was indeed very real when my eyes landed on a sight I wished I hadn't seen.
