Romeo: Hi, babe, I'll meet you in 30 mins, still catching up on work.
Hailey smiled as she read the text. She didn't care that he may be late for their date. All she cared about was that he was here. He was alive.
She tucked her phone away in her bag as a content sigh left her glossy lips. Looking around the empty cafeteria, she saw Zach coming through the doors.
She smiled brightly at him, "Hey, Zach!"
He grinned at her as he turned towards the table she was occupying, "Hey, beautiful,"
She blushed slightly at the complement as he sat with her.
Staring at her, his eyes narrowed in suspicion. Something was definitely different about her. Her eyes were bright and bold and she wore the biggest smile. She hadn't looked that...chirpy in days.
"What's going on?" He questioned, leaning towards her.
"What are you talking about?" She quizzed innocently.
"You seem happier than usual," He pointed out.
