The Breaking Point of Love
"Ms. Celeste, Uncle Beck and I are going to set off fireworks later. Do you want to come over?"
Celeste assumed she was referring to going to the Harper family's place. So, she replied, "I can't today, sweetie. I have other things to do. Maybe next time, okay?"
"Oh, okay."
Shanice chatted with Celeste for a little while longer, but soon, something else caught her attention, and she ran off.
Beck took the phone back and said, "Happy Ember's Day."
Celeste replied, "Happy Ember's Day."
Without Shanice in the conversation, the video call suddenly felt a bit awkward to Celeste.
