"Rad still cares about you, making that soup under my mom's name," Dustin remarked.

I gave a wry smile, "Better late than never, but still not worth much."

The soreness in my mouth affected my appetite, so I packed up the leftover dumplings and soup. "Dustin, thanks for coming all this way. Please tell your parents I'll visit them once I'm less busy."

I gestured towards the amusement park, "There's less than a month until the deadline, and the lighting isn't even set up yet. It's really hectic."
