"sorry about that."
we continued on to the sidewalk of the city, shoulder to shoulder. i look all around me, observing each building getting brighter as the sun set. i admire the hues the sky showed off as the sun said goodbye for now. i admired it all.
mainly to calm my nerves—and to help me figure out how to let this be the last time we would see each other.
but at the same time, everything was so beautiful that i didn't want to ruin anything just yet. so i let myself enjoy these last moments with takuya.
"it's fine. your friend is just worried about you."
"yeah, i guess..."
we stopped at a small bar and grill at the end of the curb, and takuya turned to face me. he held the door open for me, gesturing for me to walk in first.
"after you, m'lady."
i playfully scoffed at his statement.
"m'lady, huh?"
nonetheless, i stepped into the venue.
and that was one of my many mistakes.
