Tina was already there when I arrived at the illegal restaurant.
She waved me over so I sauntered to the table she was on.
“Hey.” A smile greeted me. “What would you like to eat?”
“I'm okay.” Dale had made me lose my appetite.
She nodded, then called for a worker, ordering something for herself only.
The worker left, returning with the food. “Thanks Tina."
“Yeah.”
Then she was gone.
I didn't say anything, waiting till she brought it up.
Which she did after a bite. “Dale told me you both broke up.”
My shoulders lifted in a shrug. “It can't be called a break up if we were never together to begin with.”
“Oh come on, you know you like him, and my brother loves you even more.”
“Apparently not enough to let others go.” I tried to hide the hurt from my tone.
This wasn't a time to so
