“No, I can’t…” Olivia glanced at her hand and felt disappointment wash over her. “You should go now, Charlotte. I have to hurry over to Sultry Night for work anyway. Let’s meet up again when we’re free.”

“You’ll never know until you try, right?” Charlotte smiled. “Life is always full of hope!”

“Don’t be silly. Go ahead with your work. I’ll keep in touch.”
