At that moment the uneasy feeling still lingered in Abigail's chest, but she pushed it aside quickly.
There were other things she needed to focus on right now.
She glanced down at her phone, tapping the screen to check the time.
Right—she couldn't forget.
She had somewhere important to be today.
Clearing her throat lightly, Abigail shifted her position on the couch and turned toward Jerry.
"Well," she began, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear, "I actually have somewhere I need to be today."
Jerry looked up from his glass, giving her his full attention.
"I promised a friend I'd come, Abigail continued.
"She's celebrating her birthday today... and it's not just a birthday."
Jerry raised an eyebrow slightly, curious.
Abigail smiled a little, thinking of her friend's excitement.
"She's also celebrating her one-year anniversary with her husband," Abigail said warmly.
"It's a double celebration."
Jerry nodded slowly, taking in the information.
