While having breakfast with Kara, I didn't see Brandon.
"Hey, didn't Mr. Howell agree to go to the amusement park with us? Why did he leave early?" Kara wondered aloud.
I didn't respond.
Kara nudgedwith her shoulder. "Maddie, Mr. Howell truly cares about you. He specifically askedto return to take care of you last night. He said you'd been drinking. Were you drinking with him?" "No!" "Then how did he know you were drinking?" Kara was full of questions.
"He saw me." "Oh, I see." Kara gavea penetrating look as if trying to read my mind.
"Don't bother. There's nothing going on between us." I answered the question she was too embarrassed to ask. Kara laughed. "It's alright even if there was. Even though I admire Mr. Howell's looks, it's merely just like how I admire male celebrities." Kara was pretty clear-headed about it.
"We'll-admire him together then," I said before ending the conversation. We then quickly finished our breakfast and left for the amusement park. Brandon had already started working. Kara greeted him. "You're here early, Mr. Howell. Why didn't you cwith us?" "It was more convenient this way," Brandon replied, making Kara stick out her tongue playfully.

"Bree, you didn't have to go through all this trouble." I was feeling slightly embarrassed.
"You can't eat takeout every day. It's unhealthy. Ask them to covert and get these Bree said, glancing far out.
Brandon was still working, while Kara was on her phone ready to order takeout. For sreason, I had a feeling Bree was looking at Brandon. "Kara, Mrs. Gildon brought us lunch. You don't have to order takeout anymore." I called out.
