“No need. The gathering is close to Valarie’s place. I’ll stay with her tonight,” she replied.

There was silence on the other end before Clark’s deep voice came through. “Are you still upset about last night?”

“No. I just haven’t had a good chat with Valarie in a long time, so I plan to stay over at her place tonight,” Nyla said, though she was lying.

“Got it,” Nyla replied.

After hanging up, her phone flashed a low battery warning, indicating only 20% charge left. She frowned, realizing she hadn’t charged it since the previous night due to her busy schedule.
