[Mizeria]

Iris finished wiping down her tables, and walked the dinner once more. Everything in its place and ready for the morning. She fixed the last salt shaker, grabbed her bags, and walked to the door. She took one last look back at the store. There was a certain sadness to its empty booths, but by morning they would all be filled. The air would smell of the wondrous food, and Felix would be singing while he cooked in the back. The wonderful baritone.. It was more home here then almost anywhere. She sighed and closed the door, locked it, and walked down the street towards the library.

Trace was there. Looking for some books for whatever computer thing he was in the middle of. She smiled to herself and pulled out her phone.

"On the way. See you soon."

She hit send on the text hoping that he was done. She just wanted to get home. The sun was down and most things were closed. She had been telling Tony for years he should make the little dinner a 24-hour place. He would get more business that way, but he had always refused. The wind blew past her as she walked. She was almost to the library. She kept looking back. Feeling as though someone was watching her as she went. Yet the streets were empty. All the lights in the windows were dark. She pulled her jacket close and walked up to the entrance to the library. Trace was waiting outside for her and she just smiled and grab his arm pulling him close and started the walk to the apartment.
