Aveline stepped into the elevator when her phone pinged-it was a message from Selena inviting her to dinner that evening. She felt drained all day and didn't have the energy to go out, but she also didn't feel like cooking for herself once she got home. She quickly replied, asking where they would eat.

She said, "Where are we eating? Send me the location."

"Got it."
