Chloe got back to the banquet hall and found Rose pretty plastered. Her face was conspicuously flushed and she had this charming, slightly dazed look about her.
"How much have you had to drink?" Chloe frowned.
Rose just laughed, "I've run into a lot of old classmates. Been having such a good time, I guess I overdid it a bit."
Chloe sighed, "We've got dorms provided tonight. If you're wasted, you better not move around."
"...Alright."
Just then, the host on stage announced, "Now, let's give a warm round of applause for Ms. Keira from Pulse Entertainment. She's going to kick things off by performing for us."
Soon after, Keira hobbled up onto the stage, her dress in tow.
Chloe watched as Keira sat gracefully at the piano amidst applause. Her heart ached, and her eyes twitched involuntarily. She quickly turned away.
Nobody's immune to the sting of giving up something they love.
Rose saw Chloe's reaction and felt a pang of sympathy. She rarely saw this side of Chloe. To most people, even to Rose sometimes, Chloe was made of steel, able to face anything.
But she wasn't invincible. She could be hurt too...
All because of that woman, Keira!
The piano began to play, the melody was beautiful...
"Ha... a home wrecker playing the piano, how disgusting."
