Yuki and her new found friends play the games against the Face cards. Separated...
I lean against my car, arms crossed, pretending the early summer air doesn't bite through the thin fabric of my black top.
My reflection stares back at me in the car window — hair deliberately messy in that I-totally-didn't-try kind of way, jeans hanging loose at the hips, mascara brushed just enough to make my eyes look awake. I spent twenty six minutes doing this. Twenty. Six. For a man who probably thinks "effort" is an evolutionary weakness.
I check the clock on my phone. 8:47. He'll be out any minute.
While I wait, I scroll through my notifications.
