CHAPTER FIFTY

  Gracie

  I only have a couple of hours left on my shift. We had been busy the entire day, which helps the hours pass quicker. I haven't heard anything from Ryland yet, but hopefully, I will soon. I’ll be going on my last break fairly soon, hopefully, he will be here by then.

  “Gracie, can you get booth four please” my colleague, Molly, asked.

  “Sure,”

  I didn’t even know there were people in that booth. They must have come in when I was serving someone else. I took my notepad and pen from my pocket and made my way over. The moment I saw who it was, I wanted to turn around and walk away.

  “Hey, baby doll,”

  Matty! For sure the last person I wanted to see! And he wasn’t alone. Accompanied by a couple of his friends and armed with that creepy smirk of his that makes my skin crawl.

  “What can I get you all” I asked.

  I was not even going to acknowledge him or whatever he said. I was here to take their orders, and that was all.
