With a painful bite on her lip, Samantha watched Jordan walk out of the room while she remained seated in her discomfort.
For some reason, she was starting to doubt if she was truly that important to Jordan, and she spent some time staring at the beer rack wondering if he would be happy to see her.
About to depart, she stood up the seat at the counter and was startled to see Stephanie.
She smiled.
Samantha remarked, "Hey, you are here," as Stephanie gave Samantha a little, startling smile.
"Hi," Stephanie greeted and proceeded towards the counter seat, while Samantha followed.
"When did you arrive?"
"I did not expect you to arrive," Stephanie said.
"Actually, your brother— "
"Did my brother call you over? It appears he has moved on. When he gets home from work, he is always grumbling over something."
"No, that is not the case; your brother did not call me over. I actually came over and found him in the parlor."
