"Are you busy? Can we talk?"
Gaville opened the door of his apartment wider to let Shenise in.
"Of course." Gaville was about to kiss Shenise on the cheek but the woman stepped back and turned to walk towards the living room. Gaville sighed and followed her. He motioned Shenise to sit down.
"Want anything-"
"No, It's okay. It wouldn't take long."
Gaville furrowed his eyebrows at Shenise's seriousness. He sat beside her on the sofa. "Is there a problem with the engagement preparations? Did the planner contact you?"
He saw Shenise stiffen. He felt nervous.
"The engagement is off, Gaville."
He froze. A few seconds passed before he found his voice again. "W-what do you mean it's off?" He asked cautiously, fighting hard to keep his voice from cracking.
