The day of the festival arrived. I called Sophie to see if she wanted to meet up at the festival grounds.
"I'm sorry, Duncan. My mother wouldn't approve of us being together."
I didn't know what to say. I didn't even know what exactly was going on.
"I don't know how it works where you're from, but here in Dragon Valley, the parents have to sanction relationships. I'm sorry. I really am."
An hour or so later, I got my mail. There was a letter from Dampe:
Duncan:
Enjoy the festival! You don't have to come into work today.
-Dampe
Enjoying the festival is exactly what I did.
After the festival, I decided to go to the gym.
When I went to school the next day, I tried to forget about what happened with Sophie before the festival. But it was still on my mind.
The next day was a Saturday, so I didn't have school. At least that was the same. But the old TV in the house was broken, so I had to do what I could to fix it.
I did, however, have work. Work was the same as always.
