After another half–hour, it was getting dark. Ashley and Amanda decided to leave. Emily asked Chase to have dinner with them.

Chase hesitated slightly, seeming reluctant. Ashley and Amanda didn’t want to have dinner with him, either. Before he could speak, Amanda said,“No need. We’re going home.” Emily didn’t insist, simply asking Chase to see them downstairs.
