She didn't hear Kay speak anymore.
Thea put her ear to the door. Her hand gripped the doorknob tightly. She was sure, Kay would know that she was lying to him. Thea had to. She hates complicated things. Thea couldn't explain it right now, because if that happened, she would have to explain everything from the beginning and Thea didn't want that. After not hearing Kay's voice anymore, she opened the bathroom door slowly.
The room was empty.
There was no more Kay there.

Not after Thea knew what she was getting into.She patted her dress and prepared to stand up, but Kay grabbed the hem of her dress."What?" Thea became annoyed to cover up her feelings.

Compared to a meeting full of emotional hugs and teardrops, Kay and Kate just had a dry nod for acknowledge each other presence. "Ah," Kay looked up. It was his first time seeing Kate again in almost three years. His eyes glanced at the person beside her. Her blonde hair was the first thing that caught his eye. “Lady Kate, is this the brother you were talking about?” Florence, who was following beside Kate, asked. Kate nodded.

He ran here and there looking around.“Son of XX!” Lubez didn't stop cursing Odger in his mind. His small body infiltrated the crowd smoothly.
