“How could I fault her? I’ve long known Lydia’s ways. It’s been too long since I Last saw her and I’ve missed her greatly.”
“By the way, Lydia,” Alick said as he set down his utensils.
“There’s a college class reunion today. Would you like to come along?
It’s being held at my bar.”
Lydia began to voice her dissent but, before she could, Jaylin interjected on her behalf.
“Yes, she should attend. It’s been quite a while since you all caught up. Going out and reconnecting would be a good idea.”
With a stern glance, Jaylin directed Lydia.
“After breakfast, head upstairs to change and accompany Alick!”
Lydia gripped her knife and fork firmly and declared, “Very well, I won’t eat. Please, enjoy your meal. I’m heading upstairs.”
With that, she rose from her seat and ascended the staircase.
“You…”
Lydia pressed forward, ignoring them.
Once upstairs, Lydia reached out to call Hannah.

“I can’t bring myself to go with him. Who knows what kind of humiliation he has in store? My father is truly complicating matters for me!”
“In that case, don’t go. I’ll come to pick you up later.”
Aware of Alick’s dubious character, Lydia resisted Hannah’s offer, saying, “If I leave with you, he’ll undoubtedly inform my father and then I’ll be inescapably pestered.”

She then reassured her friend.
“Don’t fret. I won’t let myself be outwitted this time. If he tries to disgrace me, I’ll make a scene at the reunion!”
Hannah remained somewhat concerned.
“Where’s the gathering taking place? Send me the address when you get there.”
Lydia responded, “Alick mentioned that it’s going down at the bar he manages, the same place you visited before to rescue me.”
Upon hearing this, Hannah instructed, “Alright. Be cautious today.
Call me if anything goes wrong.”
As soon as Lydia ended the call, a knock echoed at her door.
