Raven looked across the table at Sarah who gripped her hot mint chocolate with both hands. Her finger less gloves made her fingers look like pink sausages poking out of white bread.
Sarah's looks were the exact opposite of Ravens black hair, brown eyes and her thick and naturally arched eye brows whilst Sarah had golden blonde hair, blue eyes , and plucked thin eye brows.
In the background, the buzz of conversation and the grind of the coffee machine played in Ravens head. The sounds were so ordinary and comforting not like the conflicting emotions that were attacking her. Sarah looked concerned "are you feeling better now? I thought you were going to faint or something "
Raven nodded . For a moment there she hadn't been sure herself.
"Drink some more hot chocolate" Sarah followed her own suggestion " your susposed to have something sweet when you've had a shock"
"Why"
"I don't know my mum thinks chocolate is the Anwser to everything" Sarah looked at her hot drink " maybe she's onto something"
Raven smiled met dad said her smile could light up a room and with a good reason. Her orthodontist had probably brought a yacht with the money he had earned making her teeth look perfect.
"teeth are the first thing people notice she heared her mums voice she were sitting beside her. appearances were important to mum. But there are other things to look for when you first meet someone , like kindness or a sense of humour.
Raven nudged In guilt. her mum wasn't unkind and she could laugh, she used to laugh , maybe she would again if dad came back.
Sarah touched Ravens hand "I'm so sorry I wish it was your dad"
"That coat and that hat I can't stop thinking about them there just like dads I have seen him wear them a million times "
There are probably stacks of coats like that"
It wasn't new,there was a mark on the coats collar and sheen on the fabric that you can only get from wear" continued raven in a deep thought" and don't you think the chance of someone picking exactly the same combination of hat and coat as dad is kind of small"
"Maybe" Sarah tucked a strand of blonde hair behind her ear " I wore the same outfit as rochelle to klaudias party and I had to go home and change".
"But wouldn't you be surprised if you rocked up with the same dress and hat as rochelle"
"Totally, I don't wear hats" Sarah rolled her eyes."i was surprised to start with anyone as big as rochelle should never wear that style,girl obviously doesn't own a mirror"
Sarah was a loyal friend but sometimes drifted off the topicFour days and not a word from dad. Just a big silence rapidly filling with tears.
Raven looked out through the wide cafe window. the city was still In peak hour madness. A bus pulled up with a squeal of brakes . the line of commuters began to snake up the steps and inside. She ran her eye along the queue, then back again stopping at a man who was about to board. He turned his head and raven had a clear view of his lush mustache.
"SARAH!!" She grabbed her friends wrist "there he is "
Sarah jumped "who"
"The man from the store in the bus line , third from the front "
"Your not obsessing are you?"
Raven snatched up her smart phone from the table and snapped a picture then the bus doors closed and her last clue of her father vanished.💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎
