Chapter 5
She wouldn't make it a wasteful day. She made a jog with Hank to the park, which wasn't that far, as she expected. She showered and on a whim decided to visit the diner. She would always go with the team and Gil. It felt odd when it was just herself.
She decided to take the counter and sit on the stool next to man that was facing the other way. The guy wore a black coat and black pants. She seemed drawn to him. She didn't know why, but she needed to get near him. He turned to her when he felt her presents behind him.
"Sara," he whispered out when his brown warm eyes meant her own. She looked away.
Flashback
"Hi, I'm Jonathan White, but you can call me Johnny. My family and I just moved into the house next door to your Inn," the very young version of the man in the diner said with a smile. He outstretched his hand.
"Jeffery Sidle. The house that has been abandoned," the teenage boy questioned, who seemed the same age as Jonathan. He took his hand as little girl was coming towards them. Johnny guessed it was his little sister.
"Yea. My parents can't really afford anything right now," he said frowning.
"Hi," the young girl said. She was smiling with a gap between her teeth. It made him feel a little better. The brother and sister were only two years apart in age.
"This is my little sister, Sara," Jeffery said pulling her towards him.
"Sara."
End Flashback
She stepped a few steps back and started to run out of the diner.
It can't be him. No, why is he here? How could they let him out?
She ran as far as she could were she was earlier in the day. She sat on the park bench and gasped for air. She burst into tears.
"Sara," the man from the diner said softly in front of her. He had run after her and wasn't even out of breath. He was physically fit. He was a few years older than Sara and a few inches taller.
"Please, I can't take this… This can't be happening.," she said through tears.
"Sar, please don't cry," he said pulling her into his chest. She didn't pull away. He pulled his arms around her and hugged her. His embrace was warm and cozy.
She slowly stopped crying, and he let go of her.
"Why are you here Johnny in Vegas?"
"Can we talk about this somewhere else?"
She nodded her head.
"Is my place fine," she asked him.
He nodded.
