easily understood or done; presenting no difficultySpencer: I made it home, have a good weekend!

After a full day of exploring the nearby woods, and even swimming in a creek, Max was too exhausted to worry about anything.
She made it a point to match Eloise's bubbliness so as to make Michelle feel special for her birthday, and hoping it would make up for her mood the night before.
No complaining. No angst. She told herself.
That evening she received another message from Spencer:
Spencer: so there is a new Pho place down the street I'm thinking of trying Sunday night. Would you be interested?
Max thought a minute, tapping her nails on the side of her phone. Her chest felt warm at the thought of him. She knew she couldn't... or shouldn't keep this up, but maybe I can just a little longer, She thought.
Max: I love Pho. I'll be back around 7 on Sunday
Spencer: 🍜😬
Sunday afternoon came and she received another text.
Spencer: I just got called in on a case, I'm leaving out of state for a few days, so I will have to cancel on tonight. It's looking like it will be pretty involved, so you might not hear from me much.
Maybe that's for the best. She thinks.
