I felt a surge of annoyance at her intrusion, but I tried to keep my cool.
"Yeah, I'm leaving," I said, my voice flat. “Already missing me? Came to say goodbye?”
She didn’t reply me just a snort. Then, her eyes landed on my suitcase, and she laughed.
"Looks like you've been planning this getaway for a long time," she said
