Stanley felt extremely annoyed by the questions. Slowly, he stood up. “I’m going for a smoke outside. Enjoy your chat,” he said before nodding politely at the group of people and walking out the door.

After leaning against a lamppost, he slowly lit a cigarette and took a puff at it. The warm light above his head seemed to create a layer of luminescence around him. Meanwhile, he could still hear laughter from the brightly lit living room.

Now that the wind had stopped, a sky full of stars could be seen.

“Cousin-in-law, do you mind sharing a cigarette?” a crisp voice asked.

Stanley looked over at the girl, who was the second daughter of Emily’s uncle, whose name he had forgotten.

The girl was beaming at him with bright eyes.

Stanley did not answer her. Instead, he pulled a cigarette out from its box and tossed it to her. After that, he took a long puff at his cigarette before letting it out as he looked up at the stars. Stanley did not look at her again. In fact, he did not even allow his gaze to linger upon her the first time.
