Christopher, too, had dressed up. His suit was sharp and immaculate, exuding the charm of a mature, elite man.
"Sorry I haven't contacted you in so long. I've been really busy, and a lot of things have happened recently," Christopher said.
"I know you're busy. It's fine. There's no need to apologize," Sydney said. Whether or not Christopher contacted her was of little concern to Sydney, since they didn't have any kind of relationship to begin with.
