Chapter 31

Sanya
I
stop in the guest bathroom before rejoining the party. I’m scared that what
we’ve done will be obvious if anyone looks at me. I look myself over in the
mirror. I think I look the same. Henri has already rejoined the party. I’m still
not completely sure how I went from angry to horny so easily. We still haven’t

solved anything. Our relationship status is still unknown, yet I’m not mad
anymore.
What the hell?
The doorbell pulls me out of my thoughts and guest bathroom. Some of our
friends had mentioned stopping by throughout the day, so I’m not surprised the
doorbell is ringing. I am, however, surprised to find Tala and Carla beaming from
the other side. I know we left on a better note, but I don’t see them as come to your
house on holidays type of friends.

“Hello…”
I check for others. The last thing I need is a run in with Teo at my house. He’s
called and texted more frequently since we returned from Florida. I ignore it all. He
oscillates between being complimentary to rude. I guess he’s trying to see which
will make me respond. I’ll take neither for 1000, Alex.

“It’s just us.” They smile brightly. I step aside to allow entry.
They filter in and gush about the décor. I continue to look at them expectantly.
“Do you two want something to eat or fresh lemonade?” “No, thanks,” They
refuse in unison. My curiosity spikes. “So, what brings you here?”
Carla looks at Tala and nods excitedly.
