A Humble request

The aroma of sizzling seafood pleasantly assaulted my nostrils as I looked around in search of the blonde beauty I came here for.

I found her at the far corner of the restaurant sitting by a window wall and staring directly at me. I tensed up for a few seconds at the intensity of her stare but eventually relaxed as I walked towards her table. Even if I'm apologetic, I still have a reputation to uphold. I'm not gonna appear weak in front of her.

"Hi, Donna," I flashed my best smile at her as I sat down on the seat opposite hers.

"Hi," she said, her melodious voice filtering into my ears like a song.

"It's...uh...nice to see you again," I said awkwardly.

"I can't say the same, sorry," she shrugged. "I'd rather be with my child right now, or working."

"Speaking of your child," I looked around her. "Where is.....your child?"

"You don't know the gender, do you?" she asked and I shamefully looked away. I couldn't bring myself to answer that. "Well, she's okay, and happy where she is."
