Not Angry… Or Uncomfortable

Closing the door behind her, Hazel then leaned on the door and tried to catch up her breath.

Her face turned scarlet. It was not known whether it was because she was embarrassed after what happened, or whether it was because she has been running up the stairs. 

As soon as she was able to calm down, Hazel was surprised to find a pair of eyes staring back at her. 

"What's wrong with you?" Michelle asked.

"Yes. Why do you look so frightened? You look as if you have seen a ghost." Crystal asked. Her gaze then fell on the bouquet in Hazel's hand and her lips curled into a smile. "Is that from Mr. Childhood Sweetheart? How was your date?"

Can she just tell them both that she had encountered a ghost at the stairs earlier?
