"Sure." Tyrone's voice was low.

Just as Sabrina was exiting the car, she suddenly halted. She stared at Tyrone and said, "Oh, by the way..."

Tyrone looked at her questioningly.

"I checked with my friend, and she's okay with you joining us. What do you say?" Sabrina inquired, a playful look in her eyes.

Tyrone was taken aback, and then it dawned on him. Sabrina had been teasing him! She was aware of his feelings and had sought her friend's approval but kept him in suspense until the last moment.
