I couldn't catch her. She ran too fast and ended up hailing a taxi once she was far enough away from me.

I begrudgingly walked back to Starbucks before realizing Anthony wasn't there. Tears started leaking out of my eye as I called my mom to come get me. She came and the first thing she did was hug me, which I appreciated.

I knew that when I got home, I was going to have to talk but I just couldn't find the words.
