Danica was the one who had called; she wanted to ask Frederick out to a gathering. Afraid of waking Alicia up, Frederick spoke softly. "I'm busy today, perhaps another time!"

He thought that he should keep some distance from Danica now that he had made his choice. He had to find a suitable time and made things clear with Danica.
