Chapter 20

Alina sat at the dining room table late into the night.

At the diner earlier, no one had mentioned her bringing a man there the day before. Frank had hesitated, as if he wanted to apologize again, but she was glad he didn’t. He ordered eggs in a different way, but Alina had no idea what poached was. Meg had waved him off, telling Alina to scramble them with cheese and be done with it.

She’d stayed late again, to learn but also so the time would pass faster.

Before Meg had sent her on her way, she’d asked if things were okay, and Alina had nodded. She’d hesitated, studying Meg. The woman seemed completely content running a diner on her own. Alina swallowed the question that rose in her throat and headed back to the house instead.

She’d cooked two portions of dinner because Luka had said he’d be back tonight. It had sounded like a promise to her.

As nighttime faded into the early hours of the morning, she remembered his words the last time he’d said he would return, the amendment of if it was possible. Her hands shook as she put the portions of food away, even her own.

She went to bed alone, already sure she wouldn’t sleep, not with the adrenaline of worry building within her chest.
