Through the mirror in front of me, I could see Phoenix.

I didn't look at him upfront the last time I spotted him at the hotel entrance.

This was our first time seeing each other face to face after my prison time.

Wet hair stuck to my face, with most of my makeup ruined. My clothes were covered with dust from the construction site.
