Hyde nodded in agreement, his mind swirling with thoughts of what to do next. In stark contrast, Mabel’s mood
had soured. The task of fetching Elyse felt like an imposition, almost as if she were being asked to prostrate
herself before her. The very idea of sitting down for coffee with Elyse seemed absurd.
She wandered the mall aimlessly, clinging to a faint hope of luck. Mabel had no idea what had brought Elyse to
the mall, so her search was haphazard, driven by the slim chance of a fortuitous encounter. Internally, she hoped
she would not run into Elyse, planning to return to Hyde after half an hour with news of her unsuccessful

Elevating her chin with a blend of defiance and resolve, Mabel responded, “Cwith me. I'll buy you a coffee.”
Elyse paused briefly, suspecting she had misunderstood. Mabel had indeed suggested coffee. Momentarily
perplexed, Elyse quickly regained her composure, suspecting Mabel was plotting something deceitful. She
responded with a dismissive snort, “Do you really think | want your coffee? Thanks, but no thanks. Please leave.”

having coffee with Elyse but was driven by thoughts of Hyde, swallowed her pride to intercept her. “Stop! You

Elyse, puzzled, confronted Mabel. “What do you want? We should stay out of each other's business. Why can’t
you just leavealone?”
Mabel, clenching her teeth in frustration, retorted, “You think I enjoy this? | wouldn't bother if my boyfriend didn’t

Elyse, taken aback, replied, “What does your relationship have to do with me? Don’t expect any favors from me.”
Mabel glared at her sharply and pleaded, “Please, just meet him once. That's all I'm asking.”
Surprise registered on Elyse’s face. Mabel, long considering her an arch-enemy, was now making a plea for the
sake of a man? Conflicted emotions surfaced as Elyse observed Mabel’s dejected expression and inquired, “Is he
really that important to you? You never seemed so desperate when you chased after Theo.”
“Hyde is nothing like Theo. Don’t insult my boyfriend,” Mabel snapped back, visibly upset.
