Chapter: 185
The bus was steeped in silence, broken only by the occasional automated voiceover. The
sudden trill of a phone caught the middle-aged woman’s attention.
A moment passed before Sabrina registered that the ringing phone was hers.
She pulled it out from her bag, finding Tyrone’s name flashing on the screen.
Her finger hovered over the screen for a few seconds before swiping left.
She refused to answer the call.

Sabrina denied the call once more, turning off her phone before stashing it back in her
bag.
She did it quickly.
Out of sight, out of mind.
The middle-aged woman exited the bus at the edge of town.
The bus finally reached its last stop. Unbuckling his seatbelt, the driver left his seat and
called out to Sabrina, still at the rear of the bus. “Miss, the destination is here. You should
get off the car. Miss?”
Sabrina, lost in thought, snapped back to reality.
“Oh, right.”
She disembarked through the rear door.
There were several other buses at the station. One of them had its doors open, and
passengers were Lining up to board.
Sabrina joined the queue and stepped onto the bus. She found a seat at the back, the
same seat she had sat in on the previous bus.

As each fellow passenger disembarked, another took their place.
Eventually, they reached the starting point of her aimless journey.
As she stepped off, it was noon.
She boarded another bus and got off a few stops down. After covering a short distance on
foot, she found herself on a street renowned for its local food stalls.
The snack street was teeming with people during lunchtime.
Youngsters were the primary crowd here, either couples or groups of friends.
Sabrina navigated through the snack street, waiting in line to buy a hot dog.
