Mia and Jade hung out at the café all morning.

After lunch, they went shopping together and even watched a movie.

By nightfall, they went to the night market.

After stuffing their faces and quenching their thirst, their phones started buzzing.

"Time to head home, right?" Mr. Cedillo was left out at home by his wife all day.

He thought Mia would be home in the afternoon, but she wasn't.

He waited till nightfall, still no sign of her.

So, he kept waiting.

It wasn't until past eight that he nervously dialed her, reminding her to come home.

"I'm not coming home tonight. I'm staying at my mom's."

Andre responded, "Come back tonight. I'll take you tomorrow."

"No need. My friend will go with me."

With that, Mia hung up.

Jade also answered her brother's call. "I'm not coming home tonight. I'm staying at Mia's mom's house with Mia."

"She's a married woman."

"So what? I can't hang with her because she's married? I don't care. I'm not coming home tonight."

And with that, she hung up too.
