Before the doubt could strike him, she intervened, "Oh yes, I almost forgot what I called you for." She, then, smoothly switched the subject and said, "I called you to confirm the arrangement of the evening today. Will you be coming to pick me up? Or, —"
"I will be there, Moon," he confirmed.
Arwen smiled and hummed. "Fine, then be on time. Don't make me wait for long. I have no plans of staying at the party for long."
"I will be on time. Just come out when you are done," he affirmed, and his words made Arwen blink.
"What do you mean by that?" she asked. "Don't tell me you are going to wait outside from the start till the end?"
He didn't respond immediately, but his silence was enough of a confirmation.
