U-Turn

As we were driving through the familiar roads of Roseville, I saw Samantha standing outside the diner where I used to work. "Gavin, will you stop the car?" I asked excitedly while looking back at the diner since we sped past it.

Gavin slowed down the car but didn't stop as he asked, "Is there a problem, Miss?"

"Let's have our lunch over there." I pointed at the diner. "We didn't get to eat at Campford."

Gavin turned his head and took a quick glimpse at Myra as if he was asking for her input.

Myra wiped her sweaty palms on her skirt and agreed with me. "Ms. Valerie must be hungry. We still have two more hours until we reach the villa. So, let's eat quickly and leave."

"Alright. Let me make a U-turn then." Gavin turned the car around and parked it near the diner.

The moment I stepped out of the car, I heard Samantha's surprised scream. "Oh, dear Goddess! Valerie! Is that really you?" She ran towards me with her arms wide open.
