101 Old Scars

Try as she might've, Sei was not able to dismiss Tito's report as a mere joke.

The first thing she did was check the restaurant cameras on her phone, and she nearly dropped her phone when she saw a woman standing by the register who she thought she would never see again.

Afterwards, she told Tito to have her wait for around an hour before hanging up the phone and running back inside to jump into the shower.

She borrowed a car from Luna and drove over 100 miles an hour to reach her restaurant in exactly thirty minutes.

Her heart was thudding in a way that it never had been before, and she wanted nothing more than for Malachi to be beside her in this moment.

At the end of the day, Sei was a normal woman who had a lot of lingering trauma from her past.

It was only natural for the man she was dating to become the pillar of her strength.
