"I reckon Elijah didn’t avoid Violette because he was mad. I asked his bodyguard, and he said that Elijah got a scratch on his face from a tree branch and he’s really bothered by it. His wound hasn’t healed yet, so he probably doesn’t want to see anyone."
"Ah, that’s the reason! I’ll let Violette know right away, or she’ll start imagining things!" Odette relayed Ramsey’s words to Violette.
Violette responded with a smiley emoji.
Odette texted her again: Elijah’s birthday is in two weeks. Have you thought about what gift to give him?
Violette: Not yet, I don’t know what to give him.
Odette: It’s super cold out, why don’t you knit him a sweater?
Violette: Are you for real? Who wears hand-knit sweaters these days?
Odette: Just do it. Guys love this kind of thing.
Violette: But I don’t know how to knit!
Odette: The yarn shop will teach you! Or you can find tutorials online! You’re smart, you’ll pick it up in no time!
Violette: Why are you insisting that I knit a sweater?
Odette: Because guys love the sentiment behind it! Ramsey still can’t forget his first love because she knitted him a sweater that he’s kept all these years. I’m so jealous, but there’s no way I’d knit him one!
Standing in the snow, Violette looked at her best friend’s message and briefly hesitated.
A car stopped in front of her, honking its horn and snapping her out of her thoughts. It was the taxi she had called.
An hour later, she returned home with a bag of yarn.
Albina came up to her, looked at the yarn in the bag, and asked curiously, "Are you going to knit a scarf?"
Violette blushed slightly, "I want to knit a sweater."
Albina’s eyes flashed with understanding, "Who are you knitting it for? For me? Or for Elijah?"
Violette: "Mom, I’ll make one for you. but Elijah’s birthday is coming up, so I’ll get one for him first. Once I get the hang of it, I’ll knit a better one for you."
Albina laughed, "I was just teasing you! But isn’t it out of fashion to knit sweaters for your lover? It used to be trendy during our time."
Violette: "Odette said it’s still in style."
