I came
to a bar longue in the basement with Mr.Robert. I’ve some here several times
with Father before; it seems like a different place when I’m with Mr.Robert. We
sat on a couch. I looked up Robert’s face and he was looking around the bar.
Robert: “…”
Clara: (Something is bothering him) “What’s going on
Robert?”
Robert: “No, I’m sorry. I know I’m the one who invited you
but I feel a little nervous.”
Robert
smiled like a boy and I blushed.
Clara: “I’m surprised my parents asked you to pick me up
just to have some alone time.”
Robert: “They must be happy because you’re considering accepting
the offer. Mike is also coming back soon. It is delightful.”
I
looked down because I heard my brother’s name. I sipped the martini glass in
front of me so he wouldn’t notice I was upset.
