Dahlia didn’t pick up the first two times. It wasn’t until his third attempt that the call got through.

“Hey, Dahlia. Didn’t you tell me to treat you to dinner? Why aren’t you here yet?” Dustin asked.

“About that I’m sorry, but something came up. I might not be able to leave any time soon.” Dahlia’s voice sounded strange.

“It’s alright. Work is more important. Take your time. I won’t bother you.” Dustin answered understandingly despite the tinge of regret.

Dahlia hummed. “I’ll treat you another day.”

“Sure.” Dustin smiled. He was just about to hang up when he heard a familiar voice.

“Dahlia, who are you calling? Hurry up. You’ve got to drink with me-”

With a beep, the call ended.
