“Perfect Maybe we should just cancel and do this next weekend My parents will understand” She bit into her toast aggressively

Yes, I wanted to shout

But once again, Mia interrupted “No, no We should totally go this weekend I mean, the jet is already here It seems like a waste of resources not to use it like we are supposed to”

“Yeah,” he agreed as the door shut behind me
