Roger was the first to leave, trying to keep his pride intact.

Alice couldn't stick around and inconvenience Michael and Emily any longer, so she quickly grabbed the embarrassed Luna. "Sorry, Michael, we gotta go. Emily, I'm really sorry."

Michael snapped out of it and quickly released her hand.

With a weary smile, he said, "It's okay now."
