She was listening to Sarah Brightman.
Finnley handed her the milk without saying a word.
Mya glanced at the bottle and reached out to take it. "Thanks." Then she passed by him, looking for other drinks with the music playing in her earphones.
Mya loved Sarah Brightman's songs, both the lyrics and the voice.
In Mya’s pink shopping basket were some toasts.
Coincidentally, Linda got off work early today and also came to the cake shop.
Entering the door, she saw Finnley at a glance. Her heart suddenly raced. She instinctively stopped and tidied her hair, with a most beautiful smile on her face.
Just as Linda was planning for an encounter, Finnley had already walked to the counter.
The moment he took out his wallet, Linda saw a gold card fall to the ground. After paying, he walked away.
Linda hurried over to pick up the card. Mya stopped because she almost stepped on the card.
"Thank you." Linda got the card and stood up, quickly chasing out of the cake shop.
Mya quickly paid and went out too.
It was windy outside. The leaves were swept into the air. The wind made it difficult for people to open their eyes.
Mya stopped and reached out to block her eyes, then saw the girl chasing Finnley, "Mr. Russell! You left your card in the shop!”
Finnley paused and looked back, "Thank you." He took the card.
Linda's heart raced. She smiled and said, "What a coincidence! We met again after work.”
Finnley looked gentle but didn't say much.
The wind was blowing, ruffling Linda's hair and the corners of her skirt.
She looked up at the sky and smiled, "It’s about to rain.”
"Yes." Finnley also looked at the sky.
Linda was heading to Catherine’s place, so she didn't stay long, "So... Goodbye.”
"Goodbye."
Not long after Linda turned around, it suddenly rained. And the rain was getting bigger and bigger.
