CELESTE
I was supposed to not draw any attention to myself. I promised myself to stay silent the entire night. But… the moment Tristan's gaze fell on me, everything seemed to get doomed, every promise seemed to get broken.
All the whispers, all the stares became all about me in a flash. Sierra enjoyed every moment of it but I despised every detail.
My heartbeat pounded in my ears. Every instinct screamed at me to run, to and disappear into the shadows before I embarrassed myself more.
But his gaze locked me on the spot the moment he stood in front of me, his hand outstretched. It was supposed to be romantic because of the bond we had. I felt the opposite.
Memories of the room with black ribbons flashed right before my eyes. I remembered every word that was said to me. I recalled how he rescued me right after that as if he cared. He didn't.
