He completely missed the subtle mockery hidden beneath her otherwise expressionless face.

He had sobered up earlier, but Melany was nowhere to be found.

So, he ended up waiting outside the hall, his patience wearing thin.

The sight of Allison emerging so late only fueled his irritation.

Colton let out a hollow laugh.

He had intended to confront her, but after everything that had happened today, the urge died in his throat.

There was no point in asking questions when the answers would be meaningless now.
