323 I’m going on a date

“Good morning!” Penny’s voice rang in the dining room as she skipped in.

Everyone in the dining room glanced at the entrance where she was coming in.

“Someone’s in a good mood,” Atlas pointed out before sipping his coffee.

“Penny, did something happen?” Charles, who was also enjoying his coffee, followed his daughter’s figure with his gaze. “My daughter is…”

“Glowing,” Hugo finished his father’s remark, eyes on Penny. “Penny, you are glowing”

Penny paused as she dragged her chair back, trying to fix the smile on her face but failing. At the same time, Allison returned with a tray in her hand.

“Oh, good morning, Penny…” Allison trailed off as her brows slightly knitted while she smiled. “Did you have a good night?”

Just yesterday, Allison had been very worried about her daughter because of her boy problems. Although Charles was openly against it, he eventually shut up under Jessa and Allison’s deadly gazes. They stayed in the restaurant a bit longer, after all, discussing Penny’s crush and how innocent she seemed.

They thought if it continued, it would dishearten her. But it seemed they were overly worried for nothing.

Penny smiled at her. “I had a good night,” was all she said, but her brothers and father looked at her suspiciously.

“Good morning.” Just then, Haines’s voice was heard in the dining room. When he stepped in, he noticed the strange atmosphere. It didn’t feel like there was a problem they were discussing, but something was slightly different.

Haines carefully walked over to his usual seat, his eyes glossing over everyone. When his eyes landed on Penny, he furrowed his brows.

“What’s wrong with you, Penny?” he asked, noticing that there was something different about her.

“That’s what we’re asking,” Hugo snapped, his eyes on Haines as the latter dragged the chair back. “She’s glowing, isn’t she?”

Haines looked at Penny again and nodded. “She is, indeed, glowing. Did something happen?”

“Well…” Penny stopped.
