“You don’t have to personally handle all of this,” Dexter spoke as if he was discussing something completely mundane, his tone indifferent.

“No need to worry. One must always pay extra attention to such an important occasion,” Heather replied, her expression remaining unchanged. “Could you give me a ride home? My car broke down and the driver took it for repairs.”
