"That's all right. I can take a taxi."
"I also live in the neighborhood, it's no trouble. So that settles it then. I'll pick you up the night after
tomorrow and we'll go together. What's your number?"
Summer took out her phone, exchanged numbers with Dean, and talked for a while before parting ways with him.
Amara was watching them all the time. As soon as Dean left, she grabbed Summer's arm and asked," Summer, is he interested in you?"
Summer gave her an annoyed look. "We are exclassmates. We haven't seen each other for so many years; that's why he's a little excited. You think too much."
"Is it?" Amara shrugged her shoulders. "I don’t think it’s that simple."
Summer continued walking, ignoring her. "Aren’t you coming for a walk? Hurry up then, the sun will come u p soon."
Daisy was afraid of gossip, so she just allowed Summer to stay at home for one night and pushed for her to go back to Valentine mansion the next day.
Summer refused to leave. "Mom, my ex-classmate
lives here. We’re going to a class gathering the day after tomorrow. You can't kick me out now."
There was nothing Daisy could do, so she just left her alone. It was her own daughter anyway. What else could she do about it?
So Summer stayed at home and didn’t return to Valentine mansion for three days, including the day she left.

Mark glanced around the living room. Jazz was sitting on the couch, watching TV.
First he looked upstairs. Then he looked over at Jazz and moved his thin lips. "Has your sister-in-law returned yet?"
