Ellie and Emma are in the back of the cab, heading toward Golden Ocean Resort.
Two of them know each other for several years and are good friends. Emma noticed that Ellie is absentmindedly staring through the window, and she found the silence uncomfortable.
"How come you don't have a +1 for the wedding?" Emma thought that this is a harmless topic. She knows that Ellie is single, but she could bring someone to accompany her to the wedding. Right?
"Can we not talk about Jasper?", Ellie almost snapped at Emma.
Emma stifled a laugh. "I didn't realize that my question why you don't have a date implied that I am asking about Jasper."
Seeing that Ellie is uncomfortable, Emma got serious. "I saw him with Millie and Sharon… Are you OK?"
Ellie closed her eyes. She really didn't want to talk about Jasper no matter how much he was popping in her mind.
"How about you? Where is your date?", Ellie returned the question.
