Time passed by.
Gloria and her friends were getting on with what they had to do.
They kept in contact with each other in a group chat.
Nydia said, "I talked to Wayne and told him everything. He was happy and wanted me to ask Jennifer out."
Jennifer said briskly, "Thank you! I've talked things through with my family. My dad is happy because I agreed to get married, and my mom is nicer to me. I hope we can keep on going like this."
Nydia said, "Don't be sad! Sometimes we have no choice. Maybe your parents have their crosses to bear. We just need to think about ourselves. Things are going well."
Jennifer said, "Yup, you're right."
Gloria said, "Rebecca and I have already met. I'm waiting for her to call me this evening.
Jennifer said, "I'm a little worried. Will she call? She's the key."
