My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

Austin was sharp and quick-witted. He immediately helped Andrea sit down, ordered our food with a smile, and got us some alcohol as well.

Hendrix had always been a man of few words. He sat beside me with a blank look in his face as he chatted with Josiah.

When all the food and drinks were served, Austin stood up solemnly. He held a cup of white wine in his hand and looked at me as he said, "Arianna, I'd like to make a toast to you. I was too rash in the past. Now that you're with Hendrix, I'll treat you as family in the future."

After he finished his toast, he raised his head and downed the wine.

I glanced at Hendrix and saw his expressionless face. I couldn't tell how he was feeling at the moment.

Josiah looked at me and explained after a pause, "We came up with a set of rules before. If someone ever makes a mistake, they'll have to drink ten glasses of wine as a show of apology."
