The wind dried the tears Shen Xian didn't realize had fallen. She didn't know how long she had been staring into the distance, even after the person had disappeared from her sight, she still stood there for a long time before she finally returned to the cafe.
"Miss, you're back. When I saw you run out just now, I put away your iPad for you." The front desk at the cafe noticed Shen Xian approaching and called out to her from behind the ordering counter, then handed her the iPad.
"Oh, thank you."
Shen Xian, somewhat dazed, took her belongings and wanted to return to her original seat, only to find that there was already someone else sitting there.
"Miss, why don't you sit over here? Would you like to order anything else?"
Sensing that Shen Xian was not quite herself, the waiter kindly suggested she sit at another table and led her there.
"An iced Americano, please. Thank you."
