The starless night was cloaked in a thick blanket of darkness as Andy drove back to her house, the road illuminated only by the city lights.
The housewarming party at Jade's had finally come to an end, and the quiet solitude of the drive was a sharp difference from the lively chatter and laughter that had filled the evening.
Candace had joined the party virtually and it had been so much fun.
Andy's phone rang, breaking into her thoughts and she glanced at the screen and smiled when she saw Harry's name flash across it. She answered with a swipe, her voice steady.
"I'm no longer with your girl," Andy announced before Harry could speak.
"Great!" Harry's voice came through, slightly muffled. "How did it go? Has everyone else left?"
"Yeah, everyone's gone," Andy replied, her eyes fixed on the road ahead. "Jade's alone now."
Harry sighed in relief. "Thanks for letting me know. I appreciate it."
