Madelyn’s eyes lit up with anticipation. “May I know what the surprise is?” she asked the deliverer.

“You’ll find out when the time comes, Ms. Jent. The extra ticket allows you to bring a friend along.”

Holding the two tickets and an expensive bound art album signed by Edward Waltz, Madelyn was at a loss. She had no friends to invite. But then, she thought of someone suddenly, and she wondered if he would like to join her.

“If he’s busy, I won’t bother him, then. George, could you please give him this ticket?”

George was taken aback by the ticket, a hint of surprise accompanying his smile. Madelyn did not realize her timing was not great. Just as she was fretting over how to offer Ethan the ticket, George could conveniently pass it on.
