28 XXVII. Well, you never can tell

"You are going in another outing with Ærtle tomorrow." Nä-tâshā said to her daughter who was busy inspecting her properly manicured and beautiful hands. It seemed like her fingers were the most interesting thing at that point in time.

"Okay," she muttered not bothering to argue with her mother. It had been two weeks since her last date with him and she was quite sure that after the incident of telling him to keep his mouth shut, he would not bother her again. The only thing he could do to get on her nerves was to keep lying to her parents and his, making it seem like they were the perfect match.

Nä-tâshā and Nä-Rüto were both surprised at their daughters response. They had expected her to protest and argue but surprisingly she did not.
