When I got back to our table, Luke was nowhere to be found. I felt sick to my stomach, thinking maybe Zander had been telling the truth about Luke leaving, but when I turned around, I couldn’t see the entrance to the bathroom door from our table.
I tried to remain calm, thinking he had just probably gone to the bathroom, but inside, a sick feeling told me that wasn’t the case.
I folded my arms over the table and looked around the room. My gaze connected with the woman who had walked in on Zander and me. The look on her face was pure disgust, and I knew she had probably seen me here with Luke, as well.
Looking away, I tried not to let her judgment eat away at me.
After twenty minutes, I began to worry about Luke.
“Excuse me, miss,” I said, stopping our waitress when she passed. “The guy I was here with, have you seen him?”
“Oh, honey, he left.”
“What do you mean? He just up and left me here?”
I didn’t know why I was asking her these questions. It wasn’t like she knew what was going on.
“Yes, ma’am. He left. Mr. Hale paid your bill and said to give you anything you want. He also said to tell you there will be a car waiting out front to take you home for the evening. I’m sorry I didn’t tell you sooner. I got a bit busy. It is a Saturday night, after all.”
With that, she left me sitting at the table completely shocked.
Zander would do no such thing.
Or would he?
And I looked across the table and imagined what Zander could have possibly said to Luke to make him leave me, I knew without a doubt.
Zander did.
