She stepped into the corridor and stopped.
Brew stood a short distance away, watching her.
For a moment, neither of them spoke.
Recognition, warmth, something deeper passed between them without a single word.
Then movement broke it.
A woman approached quickly from down the hall, her expression lighting up the instant she saw him.
Brew saw her and his expression changed to one of joy.
“Brew!”
“Sabrina! What are you doing here?”
Before Randi could fully process what was happening, the woman closed the distance and wrapped her arms around him and placed a tender kiss at the corner ofhis lips with a familiarity beyond friendship.
“I’ve missed you.” She offered warmly.
He responded without hesitation, returning the embrace naturally.
Randi’s steps faltered.
The moment lingered just long enough for something inside her to shift—sharp, immediate, and unwelcomed.
They pulled apart, the woman smiling brightly as she spoke, her voice carrying an easy closeness that Randi couldn’t ignore.
It didn’t take more than that.
It didn’t take an explanation.
Her mind had already filled in the space.
Of course.
Heat rose behind her eyes, embarrassment and something far more personal tightening in her chest.
“Randi—” Brew started, turning toward her.
“I should go,” she said quickly, her voice steady only because she forced it to be.
“Wait—”
She didn’t.
Her steps quickened, her body moving before her thoughts could catch up.
“Randi, stop—”
She lifted her left hand behind her in a brief, dismissive wave goodbye and kept walking.
Leaving him standing in the corridor, confusion settling in as the moment unraveled faster than he could stop it.

Randi didn’t stop walking until she reached the parking lot.
