Joan's expression had taken a drastic change after hearing what Nancy said. She got up wordlessly and pulled Nancy along toward the restroom.
Nancy could more or less guess what Joan wanted to talk to her about, but she kept her smile as she looked apologetically at Larry. “Excuse me, Larry. We'll be using the restroom first.”
The restroom was empty, and Joan slammed the door behind them once they were inside. It was clear as day that she was a little peeved.
However, the truth was Joan wasn't in a bad mood. It wasn't so much that she was angry. It was more that she was confused by who Nancy was now. She was no longer the girl who blushed every time she talked about Caspian.
There was something about her that had changed drastically.
“Your misunderstandings have not been cleared, have they?” Joan questioned.
Nancy was expressionless as she replied, “They have.”
Seeing that Joan still wasn't convinced, Nancy quickly added, “But, it's just Caspian who thinks that way... “
“What do you mean it's just Caspian?” Joan interrupted angrily. “What about you? What has he done that you can't forgive him?”
There was a glimmer of sadness in Nancy's eyes as she wondered how best to put her words across. “Joan, he hasn't done anything wrong. It's me. So if anything, it should be me asking for his forgiveness.”
Joan frowned and looked at her in confusion. “What on earth happened between the two of you?” When Nancy showed no intention to answer her, Joan got even more agitated. “If you treat me like a friend and a sister, then please tell me.
