I stopped and looked at him. "Sure."
We got in the car, and there was a silence inside.
The wind blew in from outside the window, and I smelled a faint scent of jasmine.
It was the scent of Vivian.
The scent wasn't unpleasant. On a whim, I asked, "Do you like the smell of jasmine?"
Alex's eyes flickered slightly. "It's okay."
"Really?" I thought, "Then why have I always smelled this scent on you before?"
I didn't say anything more.
We arrived at the agreed hotel, where they had been waiting for a while.
Seeing us come together, Vivian was obviously surprised.
"Good evening, Alex, Isabella. We've been waiting for you for a long time."
I smiled indifferently and looked at Jason. "I'm sorry. I came in a hurry and didn't bring a gift."
Jason is Alex and Vivian's childhood friend. Alex always took me with him to their gatherings, and gradually we became acquainted.
"I've given him a gift. You don't need to feel sorry."
Alex led me to the table.
The remaining two seats were opposite each other. I didn't know if they arranged it on purpose.
I let go of his hand and walked straight to the seat opposite.
