        I had promised Serene a full tour of the coffee shop. The last time we had met up, she had asked to look around, but she had to leave early, so she couldn't really see more than what she had already seen.

        "It is pretty" was what she had said when we walked into my office. I had shown her around, although there was nothing to show exactly. It was an ordinary office, with some chairs, a desk, and lots of papers. Papers that would make one think it's for work, but of course, I use the papers to write her letters. Letters that she will never see, letters that she will never read.

        We are still inside the office. She is writing something on the papers I have placed on the wooden desk, saying that whatever she is writing will be a surprise and I shouldn't read it, only until she is finished.

        I watch her carefully. I like the way she sits and writes. I love the way she bites her lips whenever she gets stuck at certain points. I adore the way her eyes look as she scans the paper in her hold, rereading whatever she has written down.

        She looks away from the paper finally and a wide smile spreads onto her lips. "Read it now," she speaks as she hands me the paper. And just as I get a hold of it, the office door opens and our heads turn to it, where we see Louise.

        "I was not intending on interrupting, but we need a bit of help outside," he says, and I get up.

         My gaze falls on Serene and she tilts her head to the side. "I can wait," she begins. "Oh, but do read what I have written. I figure you will like it."

        I smile. "I will, don't worry. I'll be back," I say. And with the paper still in my hand, I wave at her and then I walk out.

        I walk out, so mindlessly. I walk out, so stupidly and foolishly.

        I walk out, forgetting that I had left Serene alone in the very room I store my letters in.
