For the last four days, I have been trying to ignore the message I received from Kaia's girlfriend for various reasons. One of which is the person in front of me.

"Where do you wanna eat today, Wills?" Noa excitedly asked.

It's my birthday and I promised to treat her to lunch today. It's not like I have a choice. She never really left my side ever since that three-word breakup with Kaia.
