“I wouldn’t be okay if it weren’t for you.” Aveline stood up and walked over to Sidney. What’s your phone number? When do you have a day off? Let me treat you to a meal!”
Sidney was a bit taken aback by her directness and shook his head slightly. “No need, I’m just glad you’re alright.”
Selena came over, smiling. “It’s just a meal, don’t be shy, handsome. You saved our Ave, which makes you a big hero to both of us. Here, take my card. If you ever need anything, just contact me.”
