The Temptation of Wren

As soon as Elmer heard this, he became alert. He had overheard Garth's plan to deceive him while hiding in Faye's wardrobe at noon, and he wanted to avoid falling into Garth's trap.

To appear ignorant, Elmer happily replied, "Well, thank you. I guess I'm a bit underdressed."

"After dinner, we'll go shopping. Let your mom know you might be returning home late," Garth added. 

Pausing for a moment, Garth continued, "Don't worry, I'll use a military vehicle to take you back. We don't want your mom to think I've kidnapped you!"

"Thanks," Elmer smirked, his heart still cursing this bastard who was trying to play him.

They all went out together for dinner. Garth stood on the far left, with Elmer next to him, and Faye Luna, the mother-daughter duo, holding hands to Elmer's right.
