Watching everyone noisily chatting, George Allison felt a comforting familiarity.
He had been away from the crowd for too long, and now, gradually, everything was getting better.
Everyone was eating, drinking, and chatting, when someone received a call from their wife and kids, and suddenly the topic shifted to family.
Someone abruptly mentioned Miss Palmer, who used to be with George Allison, and asked if he had looked for her since returning.
The scene instantly fell silent.
Many present knew that Miss Palmer got married not long after George Allison's car accident. Although the details were unknown, there were some rumors, so she was not well-liked.
The person, still unaware, said, "I saw her earlier this year in Stride City, seemed like she was still single."
The person beside him pulled him aside, awkwardly trying to smooth things over.
But George Allison, unconcerned, smiled and replied, "We broke up a long time ago, haven't stayed in touch since.
