One step closer

"Mouren, she asked me to come to her daughter's birthday tonight," Christian replies lying, he brought up Mouren's name on purpose to make Charlotte think twice about going with him. 

Charlotte and Mouren's relationship is not good or rather Mouren who doesn't want to hang out with Charlotte. Mouren is always cold with Charlotte wherever they meet, that's why Charlotte feels uncomfortable with Mouren. 

Charlotte's interest in going with Christian vanishes when she hears the name Mouren the WAGs. WAGs is a term for the wife and girlfriend of football players, especially football players from England. Mouren is a person Charlotte is very fond of. 

"Oh Mouren daughter's birthday," Charlotte said quietly repeating Christian's words. 

Christian smiles. "Yeah, if you want you can..."

"No thanks!" rejected Charlotte quickly. "I'd rather sleep at home."
