Christopher was the first to break the quiet right after Jasper's last words. He cleared his throat, leaned forward slightly, and shifted the topic as if the heavy conversation had never happened.
"Anyway," he began, adjusting his cufflinks with an simple composure in which I admired, "we still have that club thing tonight. Jasper, you're still on, right?"
Jasper blinked. For a moment, he was distracted by the sudden change in subject. "Oh, that." He smirked, his usual cocky tone slipping back in. "Of course, I'm still on. Wouldn't miss it for the world."
Christopher nodded approvingly. "Good. We all deserve a little distraction once in a while."
Then, his eyes slanted toward me, his gaze painted with curiosity. "What about you, Bambi? Will you join us?"
