Who was there was [name]. Sitting at our table, a glass of red wine in front of her, completely untouched. She looked... composed. That kind of elegance that doesn't even try. A black dress hugged her body just right, and her chestnut hair had been pulled into a messy bun. A few strands had escaped, curling around her neck like they had a mind of their own.
I didn't see her at first. I was too lost in my head, too focused on scanning the room, to even register she was there. It's embarrassing, thinking about it now, how completely unaware I was. Like she was invisible or something.
But of course, she wasn't.
When I finally circled back to the table, still looking around like a lost idiot, she smiled at me. Not a big smile, just that subtle one she does when she knows something you don't. Her green eyes caught the light from the window and for a second, it hit me how pretty she looked.
She raised her glass slowly and tilted her head, almost amused.
"Let me guess," she said, her voice smooth. "You must be..."

Another character enters the scene... and trust us, she's impossible to overlook.23Please respect copyright.PENANAl3tSnxFuGn
Poised. Unshaken. A smile that knows more than it lets on.
So, who do you think she is?
Could she be Becks herself? Or someone else entirely?
Drop your guesses in the comments :)
