"I won't say it a second time!" Frank said.

The usually gentle Frank looked intimidating when he was angry. He glared at Lucas, gritting his teeth. "Have you forgotten why we're here today?"

Lucas finally calmed down. He had come to the event hoping to reconcile with Noelle, but he couldn't understand how it had all ended up like this. Sensing things were going wrong, Xenia cautiously said, "Lucas, let's go. My foot hurts."

Frank's guilt only deepened as Lucas demanded an apology from Noelle so stubbornly.
