It wasn't like I was unkind. Queenie and Flynn had broken up. Things would've come to this sooner or later anyway.
I knew Queenie had sacrificed a lot for Flynn, so it was tough for her to make this decision. As a good friend of hers, I hoped that she could step out of her sadness as soon as possible.
From what I had read, the best way to snap out of the sorrow of a breakup was by getting into a new relationship.
Queenie had a new suitor now. Naturally, I had to do my part to help her start a new relationship.
"Thank you for coming up with those suggestions. I just want to know what kind of flowers Queenie likes and the kind of food she wants for breakfast.
"And does she prefer traveling by foot or by car? I just don't want her to feel upset. I heard that finding out a girl's likes is the first step to pursuing a girl."
Andrew had potential in this. I was satisfied.
"Shut up and stop talking nonsense," Queenie said, her cheeks flaming. There was nothing she could do with Andrew, so she covered my mouth to shut me up instead.
She was kind of cute when she was angry. She looked just like an angry kitten. How adorable.
Andrew didn't say anything else. He simply stared at Queenie, his gaze soft and gentle.
I had a feeling that Queenie was right and nice in his eyes no matter what she did.
Queenie hastened her footsteps and dragged me all the way back home with Andrew following us from behind all the while. He didn't look discouraged or adamant even after what I told him.
Besides, he had a smile on his face all the time. His eyes never left Queenie.
When Queenie and I reached the entrance of the residential area, she swiped the card and pulled me in.
I struggled to free myself from her grasp just in time to wave Andrew goodbye.
"Bye, handsome! Come here at 8:30 am tomorrow," I told him. "This is the only exit in this area."
