Hansel wrinkled his brow. “Did you Invite Miranda?” he asked Sam.
“I did. We’re friends, after all,” Sam said with a harmless smile.

Sam raised an eyebrow. “It’s still early, and the party has just started. Are you sure you want to leave?”
Seeing Miranda looking conflicted, he proposed, “How about this? You stay a little longer. After we cut the cake, you can go.”
