It wasn't the first time they had worked together. Paul washed the vegetables and helped out with chores, waiting for Miranda's instructions. Meanwhile, Miranda was in charge of chopping and cooking. Soon, four dishes and a bowl of soup were served at the table. They sat across from each other. Pa
"Yeah," Paul answered."Are you still going for a run in the evening?""I am. Should we run together?""Sure!"They both returned home to change into sportswear. Then, they met up downstairs and started running. The sun had set, and the sky was slowly darkening, enveloping the earth in dark shadows
Paul answered, "Not yet.""Oh… I see! You're still pursuing her, right?"Paul didn't respond, so the other guys took his silence as affirmation. "How long have you two known each other?"Paul pondered for a moment. "Over a year.""Wow, it's been that long, and you still haven't won her over? What's

Jenny said, "I've got thick skin and am not easily affected by criticism, but I'm just worried about what those relatives will say. They'll ask how come I live in such a nice neighborhood but don't even have a washing machine. "What should I say then? That we're broke? Or that my parents helped out

Miranda, Madison, and Sebastian arrived at Room 312 right on time.Madison let out a relieved sigh. "2:30 pm on the dot. Perfect timing."They sat for about ten minutes, but no one showed up.Madison frowned. "What's going on? They bailed on us this morning, and now again?""Good thing we didn't sit
Paul said, "Miranda can't make it tonight.""Why not?" Silas frowned. "She's off to training camp."Silas froze for two seconds. "…Wait. What? She's representing the college in the biology division?""Yeah."Silas said, "Now that's a solid pick. They made a good choice this time. What were they thi

Just as Miranda turned to leave, Beckett quickly stopped her. "Hey, wait! Ms. Sutton, don't be so quick to decide. Now that you're here…" His tone softened. "Let's talk this through. We can work something out, right?"She sneered. "Mr. Haddock, you didn't sound too open to compromise a minute ago.
