Sixty

DECLAN POV

The night of the dinner party.....

I drove to Iris's house with a disgruntled Lily, who sat beside me grumpily.

"Why are you so angry?" I asked her.

"I don't want to go to this dinner party. Can't I just stay home? You can drop me here at the side of the road and I will just take a cab home."

"Lily, I am not dropping you off at the side of the road, no way!"

She groaned and slouched in her seat.

"Why don't you want to go? You usually love going to these things?" I questioned her.

"That was the old Lily, the new Lily couldn't care less. Besides, I might run into Daisy and after all you have told me, I already feel guilty."

"Well, If you feel guilty, how do you expect me to feel?"

"But why haven't you apologized to her yet?" she asked me.

I gripped the steering wheel tightly.

"Because I don't know where to start from, I hurt her."
