848 Chef

The humid Ludus air hit Sonia like a warm slap as she stepped out of the airport. Beside her, Bryan wrestled with their luggage, a bemused smile tugging at his lips.

"Welcome back to reality," Bryan said and Sonia forced a smile.

Reality felt a little heavier than usual. The decision to cut their honeymoon short had gnawed at her, but the image of Mia's tear-streaked face during their last time together at her wedding, wouldn't let her relax. She needed to see her friend, offer whatever support she could and say goodbye before she leaves.

"Alright," Sonia straightened her shoulders, a flicker of determination in her eyes. "First things first. I need to call Lucy."

Bryan raised an eyebrow. "Lucy? What for?"

"We need to find out if Mia is at Tom's…"

"Aren't you forgetting that she will be at work by now? Why not call Mia directly?" Bryan asked and Sonia shook her head.
