The man closed the news app and sighed.
Debbie shook her head, joking, “You're kidding right? I'm nothing compared to
you. You shine like the sun while I'm the glow of a lightbulb.”
Kinsley Fletcher rolled his eyes.
“My brother doesn't have time for you, so you come to me. You sure know how to
use your connections.”
“I'm flattered. I remember you felt sorry for me when you heard my Life story. So
are you gonna help me or not?”
“Fine, but how do you know I'm in Askor? I just got here. I was still in America this
morning,” Kinsley asked, impressed by Debbie's information network. He
assumed Yates let her know about his whereabouts.
Debbie replied with a giggle, “I just know. We have a_ special connection.”
“Knock it off! Yates says you're Carlos’ woman. Carlos will hunt me down if he
thinks I'm putting the moves on you. So don't even joke about that. Just tell me
where you are, and I'll come over.” Actually,
Yates had discovered who she was long ago. He played things close to the vest,
not interested in getting caught up in their affairs.
“Great. I'll text you the location. See you later.”
As night fell, Debbie stepped out of the car and ducked into a Chinese
restaurant, her head bowed and face obscured by a mask.
To avoid more gossip, she brought Ruby along.
In a booth, a tall, handsome man was waiting for her. When he saw her, he
scratched his grey hair and complained, “The paparazzi saw me and snapped a
few pics. If they see you with me, the rumors will fly, and dozens of girls’ hearts
will be broken.”
Debbie took off the mask and sat opposite him.

“I'm not scared. What are you afraid of?”
“Afraid?” He managed to look affronted. Debbie was sure he was faking it. He
lifted his head and looked down his nose at her.
“I'm a gentleman who would rather die than break someone's heart,” Kinsley
protested, throwing her a cigarette.
Debbie caught it. But after a quick glance at it, she rolled it across the table at
him and said, “No thanks. I quit.”
She had learned to smoke from Kinsley. For two years, she had lived like a
walking zombie. It felt like a hole had been punched in her chest, and in place of
a heart there was only a black void. As she smoked, she watched the cigarette
burn and the smoke waft away into the air, as if her grief floated away with it.
When she found out that
Carlos was alive, she felt alive again and gave up smoking.
“Wow, the power of love.” Kinsley put the cigarette back into the pack.
