“Daisy was unexpectedly busy today. But she insisted that I bring you a birthday gift.”
Her words were vague, neither clear nor wrong
Jewell didn’t care about these details. He just wanted to chat more with Allison. After several failed
attempts to start a conversation, he felt embarrassed and left with his glass
Allison ate some food from the buffet table. Daisy kept sending her messages, complaining about her
blind date and how every second was torture.
After sending Daisy a comforting emoji, Allison glanced at the time, looked around at the colorful crowd
