Chapter 32 A Toast

It sure seemed that Korbin had informed Zane of the occasion, but she wasn’t informed beforehand. Due to the trio’s awkward relationship, Stella had a bad premonition regarding what was to come. Although she was initially thinking of skipping the meal altogether, she wouldn’t know what might happen in her absence.
