Lost Me Gained Regret

I quickly called out to Christine.

She linked arms with my mom, hurrying to keep up with my pace.

Herbert came looking for Edith, but ended up asking Ike if he wanted to hang out.

Of course, Ike was all in for some fun, dragging his mom and dad along, and the three of them left together.

That left just the three of us.

Clarence scratched his head, "Well, I guess I'll head off then. You see, my grandma just called, said she missed me." "Later, then."

Eventually, the place emptied out, leaving only the staff cleaning up.

And Dailey and Nelly.

Dailey stared in the direction Christine had left, lost in thought.

Nelly sensed something, "Dai, heading home or...?"

The man beside her seemed not to hear, prompting her to glance in the same direction Christine had gone.

Her face maintained its gentle curve, and she softly asked again.

This time, Dailey responded, "I'll take you home."
