Chapter 39 Killian Again

The next day, I met Killian again and we had lunch together. Maria joined us and she too seemed to be enchanted by the young man. He even went ahead and invited us to a party that was taking place at the college apartment building he lived at. He informed us that it was a small house party. Even before I could turn his offer down because I did not feel like going, Maria had accepted.

“What time will it be?” she asked Killian.

“Six thirty,” he told us and proceeded to write the address down on a notepad. “Do you need me to pick you up?”

“No, we’ll get a taxi,” Maria told him and he stood up to go. “Thanks for the invitation.”

“Why did you do that?”

“What?”

“Accept it. I don’t feel like attending a party right now.”

“I know, and that’s exactly why you need to. I know you’re sad about Henry but you need some happiness in your life, especially after what that woman did to you yesterday.”
