Mitchel looked in their direction. He smiled at Ariana and asked, “Are you leaving now?"

Ariana nodded. "Yes. It's already late, so I should take Melon back home."

Mitchel nodded in understanding. They chatted for a while before he said, "It's already late. I'll drive you home."

After saying that, he was about to walk out. But Ariana quickly said, "Thank you, but you don't need to do that. There's someone waiting for us outside."

Actually, Ariana didn't want to say Holden was waiting. She felt a bit awkward.
