Central Park was crowded; people taking a leisurely stroll, dog walkers, joggers, kids playing, couples and friends having picnics, a news anchor and her crew seemingly reporting on the budding flowers. Liv was already nervous, but the thousands of eyes made her more so.
She knew they weren’t looking at her, but it felt like it. She was alone on a bench, and her make-up was a tad heavier than what someone would typically wear to walk around the park. Her jeans were casual, but the ocean blue sweater and accompanying leather jacket seemed to scream, ‘I’m meeting my date here.’
Okay, the outfit did nothing of the sort. She could simply be waiting for a friend. But she couldn’t help feeling that her fidgeting and checking her phone every ten seconds gave her away. She may as well have been holding up a neon sign that said, ‘I’ve been stood up.’
Her phone vibrated in her hand and a bubble of excitement zipped across her stomach. That excitement quickly fizzled to disappointment when she saw the caller ID. She answered her phone with a sigh.
