More Acquaintances

The duo had finally gotten out of the crowd a few minutes of struggle later, with Tom stopping himself from asking any details, lest they be overheard and cause Ansel trouble.

However, they didn't get far before another voice called out to Ansel, with a very familiar tone of voice.

Ansel's eyes twitched, he didn't seem to have female friends and/or exes with such a high-pitched tone of voice, right?

"Ansel…" the voice called again when she saw that they didn't pay attention. 

The two men turned their heads to see two women approaching them with big, relieved smiles on their faces. 

If others saw, they'd think they were old friends or something that finally found each other after suffering great wrongs.

Ansel recognized them as Nanny's daughter and the showy woman who called herself their neighbor.
