An Odd Meeting
Tara’s eyes widened in shock when she saw Luke. For a moment, neither of them moved. Luke’s heart sank further as he noticed the glint of a diamond ring on her finger. The silence between them was deafening. Finally, Tara approached her expression a mix of surprise and pity. “Luke? What are you doing here?” she asked softly.
Luke forced a smile, trying to hide the turmoil inside. “I work here,” he replied, his voice barely above a whisper. “Just trying to make ends meet.”
