“You shouldn’t have ruined my feelings this morning who already feeling quite happy and excited, with a flat annoying face you.” The sneer that came out of Savannah’s mouth, made someone she was talking to just chimed in with a chuckle.
“It’s all because of a woman again and again, for the umpteenth time to break her promise date. Sounds annoying, right? And besides having to be made to wait for hours, the man also has to accept the fact that she apparently couldn’t make it.” The reply full of cynicism immediately made a sense of resentment Savannah overflows so quickly.

“Hahh..., I bet you’ll deny it again.” Dylan replied with embarrassed.
“Hey, that sounds rough you know?”
“Don’t you like things that are rough?”
“That even sounds completely irrelevant.”
“Tonight, in my apartment?”
That invitation, like a signal where Dylan wanted to spend the night being with the woman he loved as he had often enough happened and passed it.
“Hmm..., I have to see my schedule first, okay?”
“You haven’t been to my apartment in a long time.”
“I’ll try, but I can’t promise. Because if I promise, I might let you down again.”
“Okay.”
“But I’m asking you not to get your hopes up, okay?”
“I’m used to that kind of thing. So, whatever the decision, tell me right away.”
“Okay.”
“Hey, by the way. Did I mention that this morning you were spotted so charming? Yellow, don’t you usually wear that color?” Comments Dylan while appraising the light yellow casual dress which was quite bright, that Savannah wore today to work.

“What’s with your mood?”
