Scars Of A Broken Bond by Calv Momose

“Sure.”
Across the street in a coffee shop, Tyrone glared at Bradley seated beside Sabrina. Fury swelled within him as he watched
Bradley assist Sabrina with drinks and food.
He felt that should be his role.
Since the restaurant was close to the dock, they decided to walk.
Bradley took the bags from Sabrina and Bettie.
As they strolled by a coffee shop with sun umbrellas and round seats, Bradley suggested, “Why don’t you wait here? I’ll get
some coffee.”
He knew that sipping coffee while taking in the scenery aboard the ship would be delightful.
Bettie nodded, guiding Sabrina to a chair. “Thank you. I’d like an iced Americano.”
“I’LL have an iced latte.”
“Alright, just wait here. I’ll go buy,” Bradley said as he entered the coffee shop.
Watching Bradley queue amongst the girls, holding two women’s bags, Bettie smiled at Sabrina. “He’s quite the gentleman.”
Sabrina merely smiled, saying nothing.
Witnessing this, Tyrone snorted coldly from his hiding spot.
In his mind, Bradley was simply ingratiating himself.
Soon after, Bradley emerged with three cups of coffee, handing them to
Sabrina and Bettie.
“Thank you,” Sabrina said, shaking her coffee, her delicate features curving into a lovely smile.
Bradley, momentarily taken aback, replied, “You’re welcome.”

After Sabrina took a sip, her heat dissipating, Bradley half-joked, “Sabrina, you should smile more. It makes you look beautiful.”
The three of them continued their walk to the dock and boarded the ship, soon departing for Prybush Park.
The farther they drifted from shore, the more magnificent the view of the Austrain Opera House and the harbor bridge became.

“Bettie, could you take some photos of Sabrina and me?” Bradley handed his phone to Bettie.
“Okay, watch my photography skills. You two stand over there...” Bettie directed them, pointing to a spot on the deck and raising
the phone.
“Yes, right there. Now, move a bit closer.”
