As soon as Moran sent his message, a notification popped up-Granger had left the group chat.

Moran: [...]

Without missing a beat, Moran added him back and typed: [Come on, I was just joking. You're so sensitive.]

Before Granger could respond, Moran fired off another message: [Honestly, this is all your fault. I told you all yesterday I was going out today, but none of you could make it. Just me, out here by myself. It's kind of lame.]

Yesterday, when Moran brought up watching the meteor shower and camping, Granger had indeed excused himself, saying he was busy.

But the truth was, the moment Moran mentioned Charlene would be there, Granger's thoughts had been thrown into chaos.

Now, staring at the flurry of messages, gripping his phone a little too tightly, Granger hesitated-then finally caved and replied: [Send me the address.]

Moran had just been venting; he never seriously expected Thorne or Granger would change their minds.

When Granger's message came through, it took Moran half a second to process. Then he quickly pasted the address into the chat and, still not quite convinced, asked: [Wait, you're actually coming? You're not messing with me, right?]

Granger: [I'll have to head out a bit later.]

That was all it took for Moran's mood to bounce back: [No problem! I'll get someone to set up your tent for you.]

Granger: [Thanks.]
