Back at Silvia's party, everyone was enjoying the night's songs, dance, and food. Her birthday party was so high-end and huge-scale that it was no exaggeration to say that it would go down in history.
Not only were famous bands and singers performing, but there were also fun activities to keep the guests occupied until the next morning. It was like there was a festival on the island. There were even rides!
On the contrary to everyone enjoying their night, Ren was trying his best to hold his patience in place while being stuck with Saya.
No matter how good the party was, if he didn't like the crowd he was in, then there was nothing for him to enjoy.
All he wanted right now was to go home and log into COVENANT, so he could get away from Saya, even for just another hour.
They walked through the crowd until they reached the part of the beach where there weren't many people. Saya sat down and watched the waves crashing against the shore as Ren stood behind her.
Ren couldn't hear her, so he closed the distance between them.
Staring at him, who currently wore his signature smirk, Evie felt like escaping again. Ren was too close that she could almost smell him and hear his heartbeat. Or was it hers?
Ren leaned down a little to level his face with Evie's. His hot breath brushed against her flushed face.
"Am I right with what I thought? Are you avoiding me because of Saya? Could it be that . . . you like me?"
