Kara’s eyes stray to the entrance of their favorite milk tea café and find one of her friends waving.
Oh, no! Belinda—why is she early today?
She panics but then starts counting in her head all the bills she has in her wallet today. Belinda, who is normally late, coming early today could mean just one thing.
In a few seconds, Belinda sits down beside her. Subdued eyes meet anxious ones.
I don’t have enough today!
“I’m moving,” Belinda says.
Kara frowns. “W…what?”
“I don’t even have time to be with you now, Kara. I just thought you’d be early.”
It captured my heart and suddenly ralized, it happens most of the time for among us. How timely is the story. It made me laughs and feel sorry for Belinda for being judged. Lesson..don’t jump into conclusion, try to listen first. My comment is much longer than the story I read but it hits me and see the complete picture. Congratulations to the author
Thank you very much for the comment! Exactly! It’s exactly how I intended the story to mean to the reader. 🙂
Love and friendships melt with an unexpected frankness, and leave us breathless, wondering why. Good story, Charita. This could be the Moment of Grace [MOG] for a short story or a novel.
I’m flattered! Many thanks! 🙂
Wow! Nice story.. Congrats!?
Deeelia Grace! Thank you, thank you! 🙂
