Penelope looked at her watch again, surprised that she hadn't seen the couple.
It was hours past afternoon, and they were nowhere in sight.
She felt her heart squeeze painfully.
What if they decided not to come back to the cafe anymore? What if she wouldn't be able to see him anymore? See the stranger who she knew next to nothing about, but the very same man she was in love with.
She looked back at Nina, who was texting, dying to ask if she knew his name. After all she was the one who took their orders, since Penny would chicken out every time she would see the brown eyed man.
Penny gave her watch another glance and looked up to the door. Keeping her fingers crossed that they would still make it no matter how late in the evening it was.
She waited.
And waited.
Until realization finally dawned on her.
They weren't coming.
