After escorting Jean home, Dave immediately left without saying anything. In fact, he didn't even say goodbye to Angeline first.
"Mom, Dave agrees if we're engaged."
Angeline jumped, "Huh? Are you serious? When did Dave say that? Why didn't he tell me first?"
"Earlier, after school, in the parking area."
Jean took Angeline's hand and took her to sit together on the living room sofa. "So, Dave said earlier that he had something important to do. I didn't want to lie to you, so I'm going to be straightforward. Dave said there were some school gangs who joined forces to attack the Briston Gal Private High School. I told him not to, but Dave is acting weird. Do you think it's natural for Dave to beg me to let him fight just this one time, until he says I can ask him anything? Well, I said I wanted us to be engaged."
Angeline tried to stop Jean from babbling. "Wait wait… can you explain it to me more slowly?"
