"I thought you were never going to come out to see me, '' Jet said in a husky voice as he sat with Everly on the second floor of Lakeland restaurant, one of the most prestigious restaurants in town.
"I think you should start with being grateful for the fact that I came out tonight to see you all the way from the outskirts of the town," Everly replied, touching the fancy silver ring she wore on her pinky finger.
"Outskirt of the town?" He asked with traces of disbelief in his voice, "Is that where you reside?"
"No, my parents, I went to spend some time with them for a few days now"
"Is anything wrong with them?" Jet asked, his concern growing.
"No, everything is fine. It is just that I have been away from them for a long while" Everly replied, "And that aside, I have been busy with other stuff that was why I did not come to see you all these while" she added.
