Karmen descended the final step of the staircase, pausing as his eyes landed on Katelyn seated gracefully on the living room couch.
The sight of her instantly reminded him of the musical they were meant to attend together that evening about which he had completely forgotten.
"Good evening, Princess Katelyn," Karmen said as he came to a stop before her.
Katelyn looked up at him. "Good evening," she replied calmly before standing up. "I tried calling you so many times, but you didn't answer even once."
There was no bitterness and anger in her tone.
Karmen immediately reached into the pocket of his trousers and pulled out his phone, his brows furrowing as he saw over ten missed calls from Katelyn.
"It's still not too late, is it?" he asked as he looked up at her.
"No, Karmen. The musical ended a while ago," she said with resignation and disappointment.
"Please forgive me. I was busy in an important work and it slipped off my mind," Karmen said, lowering his eyes in guilt.
