Seven: Eventful dinner with a capital D
Almost PerfectA/N: Is it too early for another update? *cringe* Like I said, word rush. Or maybe word diarrhea? I don't know. And I'm babbling again. Forgive me.

It had been three days since the 'incident'. Joy could still feel her anger rising whenever she thought about it. How dare him enter her room without permission, caught redhanded and then escaping without a single word of apology! The nerve!
