That day at the restaurant is very long and troublesome for Elara. Mainly because of that footballer guy who had tormented the hell out of her.
By the time it was already past midnight, the restaurant had quietened. Jeni stretched and turned to Elara.
"Are you coming? We'll walk together."
Elara wiped her hands with a towel and shook her head lightly. "I still have some things to finish. You two go ahead."
It wasn't entirely a lie, there were things to do. But they were not truly enough to justify staying. She simply preferred walking alone.
After they left, Elara quickly rounded up her work, finishing what little thing remained. When she finally stepped out, she bid the senior staff goodnight and pushed the glass door open.
The streets of Starfall were nearly empty. But still, she could walk home fearlessly because the crime rate of the city was very low.
She slipped her phone from her bag and glanced at the screen. A message from Ziva popped up.
