My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

After thinking for a moment, I said, "It's the weekend tomorrow. I might take Anne to the bookstore so I might not be available."

"Let's have dinner together. It won't take long." After hesitating briefly, she continued, "I know you probably misunderstood me. But, Arianna, we all have to live for ourselves. Besides, she deserved it." Kelsey's complaint to Sierra in the movie shed, be it intentional or not, wasn't a big deal to me. People had their own free will to choose their friends. After all, birds of a feather tend to flock together. "I'll see you on the weekend then." It was easier to be doubtful since one could not read another's expression on the phone.

"Okay!"

After hanging up, I came out of the washroom and saw that Anne was no longer at the dining table. Only Hendrix and Josiah were around. I furrowed my brows and asked, "Where's Anne?" Josiah replied, "She wanted dessert, so she went to pick some up with Chloe."

I frowned. I was worried and feeling slightly angry, but I couldn't lash out at Josiah, so I looked towards Hendrix and said, "Anne is naughty, and Miss Hammer is pregnant. How could you let her go with Chloe? Hendrix looked at me and saw how anxious I was. He got up and tugged at me, saying, "They're only in the restaurant. Don't worry, they'll come back soon!"
