William hadn't expected that yet another girl wanted to change him. After clarifying that everyone would be paying their own way, he probed further: "So, for this mixer, how much is each person's share?"
Lucy replied with some uncertainty, "If it's just for dinner, it should be around fifty dollars. But if there are other activities afterwards, it might cost more."
"That's fine!" William thought that fifty dollars per person was acceptable. After all, his roommates seemed eager to attend, and he could afford it.
By this time, Lucy had already returned to the dorm with Evelyn. Seeing William's message, Lucy felt a bit helpless; it seemed that William had no intention of pursuing her.
"Evelyn, do you know what William likes?" Out of options, Lucy turned to Evelyn for advice. She had asked Evelyn before, and since Evelyn had made it clear that she wasn't interested in William, Lucy decided to chase after him.
