Dorian finally turned his head away, lifted his footsteps, and walked toward the restaurant entrance, no longer looking in Alice Conley's direction.
That woman, he shouldn't think about her anymore!
Having dinner with Daxton, Alice Conley was quite happy.
Daxton's personality was gentle and polite, yet with a bit of humor. Chatting with someone like him didn't feel dull. And as they talked, Alice found that they actually shared quite a few experiences. For instance, they both used to live in an old house and later moved to an apartment complex. They played in the alleys with friends during childhood and rushed to catch buses for school, and so on...
They were both from J City, and their various experiences were quite similar, which gave them a lot of common ground. Sometimes, when discussing a topic, they both felt a strong sense of connection.
This dinner left Alice Conley genuinely happy, easing some of her suppressed emotions.
