Chapter 42

• I immediately composed myself. I took a deep breath and played a mantra inside my head.
• I got this. I am cool. - I told myself repeatedly.
• I was ready to face Caleb Hernandez. My the one who got away maybe. I shook my head and rose. No use thinking about it. He was already with someone close to me so it was a finished chapter of my life. But if he wanted an explanation and an apology from me, then that would be no problem but I would never open the topic first. I removed an imaginary dust on my jeans as I waited for him. When I felt that he was a few meters from the porch, I raised my face and looked at him. I readied a formal smile. He on the other hand was poker-faced.
