Richard and Evelyn were still making small talks when we left the restaurant. I was getting tired, and the night was chiller than usual, so I didn't speak much.

Suddenly, my shoulders felt warm. I looked up and saw that Hendrix had put on a coat for me. Surprised at his action, I thanked him.

A black Cadillac stopped in front of the restaurant lobby, and a gentle and decent looking man got out from the car. He waved his hand at Richard and Evelyn and said, "Mom, Dad, next time can you inform me half an hour earlier?"

Evelyn pulled the man over intimately and told Hendrix and me, "Mr. and Mrs. Roberts, this is my son, Calvin Hammer. He was supposed to join us tonight, but he couldn't make it as he had to deal with something else. Fortunately, I still get to introduce him to the both of you."

We talked for a bit more, during which I felt like I had seen Calvin before, but I couldn't recall where I met him.
