Unveiled: The Survivor's Triumph

Chapter 88

Chapter 88 A Calamity

The night carnival by Silverstream River, a one-of-a-kind bonfire bash, was poppin' off on the banks of Stellaris River.

After we stuffed our faces at dinner, we made our way to the party spot.

The bonfire was already blazing, and a bunch of folks had gathered around. Lots of young dudes and chicks from the Harmonians were rocking their traditional gear, while most of the others were just tourists from outta town. Their tunes were light and catchy, getting everyone in a good mood real quick.

As soon as we rolled up, a few Harmonian girls yanked us into the mix with big smiles.

Everyone formed a big ol' circle around the fire, singing and dancing like there was no tomorrow.

We couldn't sing or dance to save our lives, so we just awkwardly copied their moves, looking like total goofballs. After a bit, I kinda got the hang of it and started keeping up with the beat.

We danced slowly around the fire, and every smiling face in the firelight looked extra warm and fuzzy.

After a while, some Harmonian girls came out with drinks, singing toast song to all the guests.

There was no dodging their toasts, so we all had a drink. Then they started dancing in the middle, moving so gracefully and with eyes that could melt you.

I snuck a peek at Ethan to see how he was handling it. With all the Harmonian girls' enthusiasm, he was looking a bit flustered, which was so not like him.

Outta nowhere, I saw a Harmonian girl lean in and whisper something to Ethan. They chatted for a bit, and he kept glancing my way during their convo.

I was kinda surprised. 'With so many dudes around, why's she picking Ethan?'

But honestly, Ethan's got that charm that's hard for any girl to resist; no doubt about that.

After the girl left, Ethan walked over to me, and I casually asked, "What'd she say to you just now?"

Ethan leaned in and whispered in my ear, "She wants to go on a date with me tonight."

I was momentarily stunned but played it cool, "Well, look at you, Mr. Lucky. Out of all the guys, she picked you."

Ethan threw his arm around my shoulder and whispered, "But I turned her down. Told her my wife is here, and if I don't behave, I'll get my butt kicked when we get back. Even pointed to the scars on my face and said they were from you." I couldn't help but laugh. "You made me sound like a total shrew? Seems like you're feeling pretty sorry for yourself."

Ethan tilted his head, grinning at me. "I think you've got the potential to be a real shrew."

"You're full of it," I said, pretending to throw a few punches his way, but they were all super light.
