"Honey, let me explain. I didn't go to meet Nathan Leafcastle; I only went because I thought you had invited me. The card didn't have a name on it, and I assumed you sent the flowers?"
A card?
Flowers!
Kris Cooper smelled a rat.
"What card?"
"It was in the rose box I received first thing this morning at work. It only said to meet at the Amusement Park and didn't name anyone… so… I thought it was from you…"
No wonder she had suddenly texted him to thank him for the surprise and said she wouldn't miss it for the world.
"If I had known it was Brother Nathan…"
"Hmm?" The man's voice sounded displeased.
Vera quickly corrected herself. "No, I mean Nathan Leafcastle. If I'd known he invited me, I definitely wouldn't have gone… I only found out it was him once I got there. I wasted 200 USD for nothing."
