I’m Bored

The formal engagement and family meeting went very well. Rui and Cali left the hotel together because Rui's father deliberately instructed his son to take Cali with him in his car.

There was only silence as Rui's car slid speedily on the road. It was already night, but Cali did not want to go back home yet. How she wished she could spend some time with Shane to have some drinks together, but it would not be wise to go to where Shane was staying.

She dialed some of her friends to hang out with. She had decided to now give Rui some space because she believed she had pestered him enough. She wondered though if it was effective.

"You can just drop me at the convenient store in the next stop, Rui. I will hang out with friends…" she casually said.
