It was Sunday. Declan was ecstatic about the charity party, whereas Yasmin was solemn.
She had returned home the day before after Natasha was released from the hospital. Despite her best efforts to act normally around Declan, she couldn't get rid of the thought that she was hiding Natasha and Earl's relationship. It turned her mood sour and made her depressed. She had no desire to attend a party.
She kept herself busy with her studies to avoid engaging in any conversation with him. She had turned down his invitation to go shopping and then to dinner the night before. Declan was visibly upset by her decision, but he didn't have much of a choice.
Yasmin was not in the mood to go out. She did not, however, said she would not attend the party.
Her gloominess persisted this morning as well, and she remained locked in the room with her books.
