I walked in, straight faced. The man behind the counter looked at me like he'd never seen another human being in his entire life.
"I need to see the back file room," I said.
"Uh.....Sorry." His voice was squeaky and scared, maybe I had something on my face.
He swallowed.
Cleared his throat.
"No can do," he finally replied.
I stared at him, dead in the eye.
"Now."
He let me in.
Through the doors, passed the men wearing black suits with long tails
I scan the room
I feel like an idiot.
Maybe I'm late?
Maybe he's not here?
I'm just about to turn and walk away when, oof! A chest. A man in a suit like all the others.
I look up. His face.
"How about dinner?" he asks.
I could hear the car long before I could see it. I knew he would be coming back, I just knew it.
I rushed to grab my bag and ran out the door before anyone could stop me.
I would be gone, long gone, before I could change my mind.
