He called Irwin again.

This time, Irwin picked up in front of Briony.

On the other end, Stewart explained that he needed to stay in Northborough for a couple of days. He asked Briony to take Irwin around Cloudcrest City for now- he'd already arranged all their activities in advance.

Briony replied simply, “We agreed on one week. Whether you show up or not isn't my concern, but when the time's up, I'm heading back. And just so we're clear, you're the one breaking the promise, not me. I've done my part.”

Stewart just said, "Alright."

After that day, Stewart didn't call again—and of course, he didn't show up either.

Briony was left in peace. She teamed up with Stella and James, and the three of them enjoyed a carefree week exploring Cloudcrest City with Irwin in tow.
