My life's only Lover

I was the last one to walk out of the restaurant, everybody else has gone home and I remain for a little bit to close the establishment. Feeling a bit tired and wanting to rest in the comfort of my home. Work is rather exhausting today, I've lost composure especially when Sarah showed up, her presence was more than enough to tip my concentration away. I didn't get to ask her how did she figure out where I work, and to think she didn't even consider the distance covered between our homes. Makes me assumed she had to cut classes just to see me. I planned to ask her about it later on, but it seems I get to do it sooner than anticipated. Just a few steps away from the restaurant, I caught a glimpse of her hijab waving in the wind. She was standing by the bus stop, but she doesn't seem to be leaving soon. I immediately rushed towards her out of curiosity and concern, thinking she might be all alone in a unfamiliar place.
