No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

"Let's chat after the game," Henrik always had a playful streak.

I realized something about Henrik; he enjoyed teasing everyone, no matter who it was.

"Come on, let's find somewhere to sit," Henrik guided me away.

Just as Henrik and I settled down, Ernest arrived with Yolande, taking seats directly in front of us. They weren't exactly next to us, but close enough, with Conrad joining them shortly after.

It seemed Conrad had a hand in arranging these seats. I thought about the tickets I had for Susie and Mack, but as the game was about to start, there was still no sign of them. Worry started to gnaw at me, especially since my phone was broken, leaving me no way to reach out to Susie.

Ideally, I should ask Ernest to contact Susie, but I wasn't keen on initiating any interaction with him.

Luckily, I remembered Susie's number, so I decided to step out and borrow a phone.

"Felicia," I was called out just as I was leaving the main hall.

Turning around, I saw Yolande.
