Edwin did not even dare to look Marin in the eye, afraid of being seen through.
"Yes, indeed."
He nodded and paid attention to the road ahead.
"There will be a party tomorrow night. If you have time, I would like to invite you as my plus-one."
"I see..."
Marin drawled with interest, but she did not immediately agree.
Edwin became disheartened.
"If it's inconvenient for you, it's fine. I can look for someone else," he said honestly.
"Do you think I will let you do that?"
She replied in a slightly playful manner. When Edwin reacted, his face turned red.
"So, you mean you agreed to my request?"
"I only promised to be your plus-one for tomorrow night, but I didn't promise you anything else."
Marin's words had an undertone.
But Edwin was immersed in the joy of her first sentence and didn't think about the other.
Marin smiled but did not say anything. She quite liked his reaction.
