He was humming to the Celine Dion song on the radio as we drove back to Baton Rouge.I had my eyes out the windows immediately after we drove off, I already miss my family in less than thirty minutes of departure so I tried to hold in my tears making me look out the window instead.I hear him clear his throat so I look back at him to see him taking slight glances at me before returning his eyes to the road"Celia!" he calls out"Mm!" I hum in response"I kind of noticed you wear this cloth more often, do you not have any other one?" he asked much to my embarrassmentHow did I tell him that this was my best pair of clothes?"Uhhm" I rub my forehead looking for the best way to put this without looking poverty-stricken"Relax Celia, I mean well, I just want to know," he says calmly.Somehow his tone sent a new s

Before 8.30 pm, I got tired of driving so I decided to take a few shots before returning home. I hit my accelerator and race down to Brad's Pub. As I walked into the pub, it felt like deja vu! This was the place I met Celia for the first time! I smile to myself as I take a seat by the window. My usual spot! I begin to feel this urge to see Celia!
