Arnold leaned out of the car and shouted, "Let's go. Ava just called. She's anxious to have us back!" I was relieved. This was the perfect opportunity to excuse myself. I apologetically told Michelle, "I need to go. Ava's waiting for us. I'll definitely cto the reunion tomorrow. See you then!" Michelle seemed unsatisfied. After all, I hadn't introduced Atlas to her.

She eagerly pried into my personal history in front of Atlas, assuming that didn't know about my embarrassing past.
Atlas raised his eyes, casting a cold and icy look at Michelle. The gleam in his eyes cut off whatever she was about to say.
She awkwardly chuckled, "Okay then. See you tomorrow, rain or shine." I nodded. "See you tomorrow. Let's go." After that, Atlas and I walked toward our cars. Atlas, a gentleman, opened the car door for me, settledin, and then got in himself. The two cars drove away.

When we got out of the car, she pouted and rushed into Atlas's arms. "Why did you guys take so long, Daddy? I'm starving!" Her sweet voice was like honey and would intoxicate anyone who heard it.

"Of course! I picked it especially for you. You'll love it," Atlas said proudly. "Now, let's wash up and have dinner." Ava cheered, then turned to Arnold. "It's dinner time, Uncle Arnold!" e When he saw Ava rush into Atlas's arms first, Arnold complained. "You ungrateful little thing! You said you missed your uncle. Is this how you show it?" "But I missed Daddy too!" Ava explained. "I missed both of you! After dinner, I'll play with Uncle Arnold while Daddy works." Arnold's face grew darker. "Are you saying I don't work?
