After saying goodbye to Tania at the café, I headed to my parents' house to meet Adrien. We were eager to have lunch together and enjoy some time. As I walked through the lively streets of the city, my phone rang, indicating an incoming call. When I took it out of my pocket, I realized it was him.
— Hi! — I answered enthusiastically —. I'm on my way to my parents' house, what's up?
— I'm calling to let you know that something unexpected came up at work and I won't be able to make it for lunch — he says seriously.
— Did something bad happen? — I ask curiously, his tone intrigues me.
— No, sweetheart, it's just that I have to attend a last-minute appointment — he replies calmly. I sense that he’s hiding something, but I decide not to press it.
— That's fine, my parents will understand.
