Chapter 136 Running From The Guilt

• “This is an unusual place to find you, Selena,” Hugo says, deflecting attention away from me.
• I’m glad for this, as I’m still incredibly unnerved that Selena knows my name. I have been on the news a lot lately. Still, the way she said it, Hello, Esther, like we are old friends… It’s unnerving. She should be standoffish with me, I would think, given the possible nature of my relationship with her fiancé. Not friendly.
• “I have friends in the area,” Selena says. “We go out every now and again.” She glances back to a group of women sitting at a table. They seem like a friendly bunch, laughing and talking together.
