Irvin called to ask when I would be leaving.

I thought for a moment and said, "Maybe after two or three days. I'll wait till things with Fantasia are settled. The rest will fall into place later."

I shook my head and said, "No, I haven't been able to get through to her. Ian has been answering all the calls I made so I'm going there to have a look."

"I'll go with you!" Irvin wasn't asking to go with me but stating that he'd go with me.

I couldn't help but to refuse. "No. Ian will be there. Everything will be fine."
