“Don’t worry, Leanna. We will be there on your birthday,” Zoe said while texting.
“What will you do with the rest of the break? Why don’t you come with us and spend your vacation at my home? My parents will be happy to see you again,” I said, capturing her elusive eyes.
Finally, Zoe stopped texting and gave me a complicated look. “W-well, you see . . . I have many orders of paintings lately . . . Grandpa Luke and I have been busy with the gallery and all.”
I knew she was just avoiding Lawrence. Ever since my brothers’ birthday (which I knew she secretly attended), she had been . . . well . . . moving on, I guess?
Which I was guilty about.
“Grandpa Luke?” I asked, instead.
“That’s what the old man wanted me to call him.” Zoe shrugged her shoulders before she finished sipping her soda and grabbed her things.
“Where are you going?”
Zoe bit her lips and avoided my questioning eyes. “Sorry, guys. I promised Elliot that we’d watch a movie tonight.”
I could only mutter an, “Oh.”
“See you tomorrow,” she said and bolted out of the restaurant.
I guess it was better for her to fall in love with someone else.
“Don’t worry, Elliot is a good guy.” Estela finished her frape and packed her things.
“I know.”
I finished my tea and cleared my scattered notes on the table.
“How about you, Estela? Do you want to come with us to my home?”
“Sorry, Zhander, and I have plans, but we’ll be there on the day of your birthday.”
She threw a wink my way as we got out of the library.
“Oh.”
My forehead crumpled. Usually, these two would come at the slight mention of vacation.
I guess everyone already has plans.
