Someone Like You

"Okay," Elise finally agreed. "But we better have something like a code to let me know when you need to bail your date or if it's going so well that I can go home. I don't want Loriel to get too worried about me."

"Of course, let's plan it all out." Alex smiled and then hugged Elise back. "Thank you so much."

"It's the least I could do for my friend. I want to see you happy as well," Elise said with a smile.

The next day, Elise told Loriel about her helping out Alex on her blind date. The man had heard a lot about how Alex had been working hard to do all the tasks he assigned to Marc, and in the end, helped him to be with Elise now.

So, in a way, he owed Alex that much to let Elise help her get a boyfriend. To Loriel, whatever made Elise happy would make him happy too.

So, he was understanding and supported Elise to accompany Alex on her date.
