Marriage Resumption (Valeria and Hackett)

The car gently halted outside Emerald Garden. Valeria unbuckled her seatbelt, getting ready to step out.

Do you really have a boyfriend?" Hackett suddenly asked.

Valeria paused, taken aback. "Huh?"

I mean, if you have a boyfriend, you could bring him over and end Barron's attempts at matchmaking. Otherwise, he'll keep setting you up on dates?

Valeria fell silent. She exited the car, closed the door, and turned toward the living quarters.
