On the morning of December 31st, Faye Vaughn received several messages.
Old Master Hawthorne: [Young Audrey, if you change your mind and would like to have a meal with me to discuss music, I'm available anytime.]
Finn Hawthorne: [Don't forget about the concert tonight!]
Vincent Hawthorne: [Are you free tonight? Awaiting your reply.]
Faye Vaughn replied to them one by one.
First, she thanked Old Master Hawthorne for his kind invitation and politely declined.
Then, she sent a voice message to Finn Hawthorne: "Didn't you say you'd wait for me at the concert entrance whether I came or not? A big man has to keep his word!"
Finn Hawthorne quickly replied: "I'll wait for you! I won't leave until I see you!"
Faye Vaughn smiled.
'I'll just see how it goes,' she thought. 'If there's time, I'll rush over to see him for a bit.'
