Do you know whether the studio offers a refund?” Jordan checked the booking page and found that refunds were possible only if the spot was filled. “Could someone else cover my spot?” Jordan asked. “I’ll post in the neighborhood group if that helps.”

Sam suggested their coworker Maya, who had mentioned wanting to try pottery. Jordan still sounded uneasy: “I don’t want to come across as flaky, especially since you made arrangements around me. If Maya can’t go, I can meet you halfway and send you half the class fee tonight.” Casey answered, “That’s generous, but let’s not decide yet. If we find a substitute, you shouldn’t have to pay twice.”

By evening, Maya had agreed to take Jordan’s place. Casey confirmed that the studio could transfer the reservation and that Maya would reimburse Jordan directly. Jordan sent Casey the updated details and thanked everyone for being flexible. Casey wrote, “No hard feelings—we found a solution, and I’m still looking forward to making a lopsided mug.” The plan was settled: Maya would attend, Casey would keep the transportation arrangement, and Jordan would step away without losing the whole fee.
