Selma Payne's POV:
"Isn't the opportunity here?" I laughed. "Don't worry. The King and the Queen are hoping I invite some friends over to our place. What do you think? Come on, come on!"
Ultimately, they could not resist the temptation and agreed in disbelief.
Dorothy was silent. I was unsure of her opinion, so I asked, "Come on, Dorothy? You know that place is very friendly, right?"
She agreed.
We went out separate ways at the school gate. Before we parted, I reminded them, "I'll get the rites official to send the invitation to your house tomorrow. See you in the afternoon!"
This was the first time I had invited friends to my place. I was so excited that even my parents could see my excitement.
"Is there good news?" My mother asked gently. "Look at how you're all smiles. You're like a kitten."
