I AM aware that the Game Center has been in our city for decades. But I still got surprised when I see how old looking it is. It looks like the owner never bothered to repaint it and there are even graffiti all over the walls. When we enter the front door the loud collective noises of game machines and people’s voices welcome us. It caught me off guard because the narrow street outside was not this loud.
“How are we going to find her?” I utter. I can’t even hear myself with the noise around us. I look around and take a step toward the direction of the game machines but Trei grabs my elbow to stop me. Surprise, I turn to look at him. Our eyes meet and for a moment, I become hyperaware of the feel of his hand on my skin. I don’t know if he feels it too since
