"Your mom just called me, asking if you were with me just now," Kyle Kinston said, otherwise, he wouldn't have known that his friend had flown back to J City early this morning.
Dorian Howards rubbed his temples; he had decided last minute to return to J City, and figured his mom was probably still sulking. Otherwise, she would have called him directly instead of reaching out to Kyle.
"I'll call my mom later," Dorian said.
"You came back to J City so early. Where are you now?" Kyle asked.
"At Alice's grandparents' house," Dorian replied.
"So, has Alice finished shopping with Mabel already? Did you see Mabel when you went to pick up Alice?" Kyle asked casually.
"Mabel? I've been with Alice the whole afternoon and haven't seen her. Wait, was she supposed to be shopping with Alice today?" Dorian responded.
The call was quickly cut off, with Kyle being the one who hung up.
Dorian narrowed his eyes, sensing that something might be off.
