After six years together, Hansel Johnson comes to Miranda Sutton with an arm around his new lover and tells her he wants to break up. Miranda doesn't kick up a fuss. She packs her things, takes the exorbitant sum of money he gives her as compensation, and moves out without hesitation. Hansel's friends make bets on how long Miranda can stick it out this time—everyone in Jandersville knows that Miranda is madly in love with Hansel, after all. She loves him so much that she can cast aside her pride, dignity, and temper. They're sure she'll come begging for him to take her back in three days, at most. But when three days come and go… Hansel's the first to lose his composure. It's his first time giving in to Miranda. He calls her and says, "Have you had enough of this nonsense? If you have, you'd better come back." Unfortunately for him, he only hears a man chuckle on the other end of the line. "It's too late to change something once it's done, Mr. Johnson. There isn't anything in this world that can turn back time." "I'm looking for Miranda. Pass the phone to her!" Hansel snaps. "Sorry, but my girlfriend's too tired. She's just fallen asleep."

Calvin nodded without hesitation. "Yeah, I keep in touch with Miranda often. Why, what's the issue?"Zach narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he could see through everything. "I know what you're trying to figure out.""Whether it's Cal keeping in touch with Miranda or me stepping in to help her today,
Zach said, "That time at the hotel, remember how you helped me out. I'm the kind of person who pays back favors. Even though you and Hansel broke up, a favor is a favor. I have to return it."He had been out smoking two cigarettes for about 10 to 20 minutes, and yet Miranda hadn't thought of calling
Calvin knew Miranda didn't want to owe Zach any favors, so he stepped in, making the decision for her. After all, he was only asking—there was no guarantee it would work out."Alright then, Miranda, get some rest. I'm hanging up now," Calvin said and ended the call."Man, look at you, all eager and
Calvin stood up to find a quiet spot to take the call, but Hansel and Zach simultaneously pressed down on his shoulders, keeping him in place.Hansel gestured for everyone to keep quiet, while Zach quickly turned off the music. The speed and coordination of their actions were almost too perfect.Cal
"Yeah, Zach's here too."Hansel said, "Location?""The usual spot.""I'll be there in 15."…In the bar, the music blared, filled with tacky lyrics. As the door to the private room closed, it felt like stepping into a separate world."Hey, Hans! You made it," Zach greeted. He had an arm around a cur
"Hans, let me help you tie your tie," said Ingrid."Heh… I'm wearing a black shirt today."Ingrid paused, looking puzzled. "I know that."Forget it. Hansel gave up. He thought there was no point in continuing the conversation when they couldn't even agree on simple things.A black shirt with a mixed

Winter's so-called "cousin who rarely kept in touch and wasn't that close with now that they're grown up" turned out to care about her so much.Then again, it made sense. Though Paul often seemed distant and aloof, Miranda knew he was just too busy to wear his concerns and affections on his sleeve.
