“Sorry… what?” Alden asked, raising an eyebrow.

“I didn’t mean for it to come out like that. It sounded so insensitive…”

“I was just making conversation! I wasn’t prying into your life…”

“Sure. ”

“Thanks, Serenity,” Alden said as they got into the car. “It’s been a long time since I had such a great afternoon.”
