Seeing Melanie's obvious surprise, Daphne quickly offered an explanation.
"Sorry, sorry, Mel! I forgot to mention Sam was joining us."
Daphne offered an awkward, apologetic smile.
Melanie looked at Daphne, then shifted her gaze to Sam.
Sam grinned widely and waved a greeting at Melanie.
Melanie returned a polite smile.
Knowing Daphne as well as she did, Melanie guessed her friend had originally intended for it to be just the two of them.
But when Sam found out, he invited himself along, and Daphne hadn't had the heart to say no.
Thus, it had turned into a party of three.
Melanie didn't mind the extra company for dinner.
However, if it had been just her and Daphne, they could have spoken freely without worrying about an audience.
Especially since the main topic Melanie had wanted to discuss tonight was Sam himself.
Daphne had previously confided in Melanie, admitting that every time Sam took her out, he inevitably tried to steer them toward a hotel.
Even after she sat him down for a serious conversation and he promised to give her time, nothing had really changed.
Every subsequent date still ended with him trying to drag her to a room.
While Daphne had turned him down every single time and Sam had never forced the issue...
According to Daphne, he always made his disappointment glaringly obvious.
And that disappointment grew more intense with each rejection.
Lately, Sam had taken to sighing heavily in front of her.
The moment she refused to go to a hotel, his attitude would immediately turn cold, and he would act distracted no matter what she tried to talk about.
Over time, Daphne realized Sam was losing his patience with her.
It wasn't that she didn't want to be with him.
But she couldn't shake the feeling that something crucial was missing between them.
During one of their marathon phone calls, Melanie had flatly asked if Daphne wanted to break up with him.
