closed starter for @gabrielmoralesx
location: lombardi’s pizzeria
After a long, gruelling day at work, followed by dropping her daughter off to Manhattan for her weekend with her father, Milla was exhausted. She simply couldn’t be bothered to go home to cook and figured that since she was in Manhattan, she may as well grab a bite to eat before making the trek back home to Queens. It’d give her time to mull over the day's events in her head.
Seeing her husband after their tumultuousseparation was always bittersweet. As much as she loved the man, he’d hurt her and she only amplified the pain by purposely hurting him in return in none other than the form of sleeping with his best friend. She knew it was an immature thing to have done, especially as a therapist who was supposed to be the voice of reason. Although, she refused to lie to herself and act as if she didn’t enjoy the night of passion she shared with Gabriel Morales. He’d always intrigued her and she didn’t regret the sex in the slightest.
It was almost as if the high heavens were listening to her thoughts and by some strange chance, Milla spotted her one time lover as she stepped inside Lombardi's Pizzeria. One part of her wanted to run straight out the door, but her instincts decided to approach him. “Gabe?” She asked with a raised brow, walking closer and craning her neck slightly to get a better look at his face. “Fancy seeing you here.”
