"I'm at Cassie's. If you want to apologize, come visit and pick me up on your way home.” His voice filled with condescension and impatience.
"Fine."
He paused for a second, then laughed triumphantly. “Then prepare an apology gift for Cassie. Don't show up empty-handed.”
He hung up impatiently and gloated in the group chat.
[It's happening! Jane is coming to beg forgiveness, begging me to come home!]
[You guys better come watch! No one backing out of those bets, got it?]
The group instantly erupted with excitement. Everyone was eager to see how I’d grovel for forgiveness.
Some even teased him. [Mark, after working day and night, did you manage to plant seeds?]
[I can’t wait to see your tigress wife’s breakdown in tears in a month when she realizes she personally delivered you to Cassie’s bed!]
People who watch the commotion really don't mind making a big deal out of things! Since everyone's so eager, I might as well oblige.
When I arrived at Cassie's house, all eyes were on me with mocking curiosity.
"Jane, I heard you're here to beg forgiveness?”
“Wrong. The one who should be begging forgiveness isn't me.”
