"I don't think the reason why Elliot won't see Avery is that he's upset..." Jun said. "His bodyguard told me that his face was covered in scratches from the fall. I doubt someone as proud as him would want anyone seeing him in that condition."
"So, that's what it is! I have to tell Avery before she overthinks things," Tammy said, then sent Avery a text telling her what she just heard from Jun.
Avery simply replied with a smiling emoji.
Tammy: [Elliot's birthday is coming up in a couple of weeks. Have you thought about what you're getting him?]
Avery: [Not yet. I don't know what to give him.]
Tammy: [Since it's getting cold out, you should try knitting him a sweater!]
Avery: [Are you serious? Who wears knitted sweaters anymore?!]
Tammy: [Just do it. Men like stuff like that.]
Avery: [Problem is, I don't know a thing about knitting!]
Tammy: [The people selling the yarn would teach you! Or you could look for tutorials online. You're a smart girl. You'll figure it out!]
Avery: [Why are you insisting that I knit him a
sweater?]
Tammy: [Because men always fall for that stuff! Jun told me that he still can't forget his first love because she knitted a sweater for him. He's kept it all this time ... It drives me nuts, but I refuse to knit him one myself! ] 1
Avery stood puzzled in the snow as she read her best friend's text.
She only snapped back to reality when the cab she had called earlier came to a halt in front of her.
She arrived at her mother's apartment with a bag of yarn in her hand an hour later.
Laura noticed the bag in her hand and asked, "Are you knitting a scarf?"
Avery's cheeks flushed as she answered, "I'm thinking of making a sweater."
Laura gave her a meaningful look and asked, "For whom? It can't be for me, right? Are you knitting it for Elliot?" 1
