Am I seeing things? Is he not angry that Josephine’s fangirling over a guy singer? Josephine turned to


    Ethan. “The concert is this Friday. Can youe with me?”


    Ethan nodded. “Sure.” It was then Josephine realized that she was so engrossed with the conversation,


    she neglected him. She felt for his hand so that she could hold it, but she touched his thigh instead.


    That was when Ethan grabbed her hand, and she smiled at him. Ethen said gently, “I’ll get you the best


    spot.”


    It wasn’t loud, but everyone heard it. All of them could feel the love in the air. Tori looked down, envy


    filling her heart. She couldn’t believe a guy could actually allow his girlfriend to fangirl over a guy singer,


    and to think he would get her the tickets for the best spot so they could enjoy the concert together.


    Have I been wrong about men?


    Food was served eventually, and everyone dug in. Josephine cut up a piece of steak and fed it to


    Ethan. After he gulped it down, he fed her a piece as well, and she munched down on it. They were


    showing their love openly, and everyone was envious.


    Soon, it was time to raise some toast. Atticus made the first one, and that was when Tori found an


    excuse to go to Ethan. She held up a ss of red wine and swayed her hips as she walked toward him,


    and then she ced a hand on the table. Sweetly, she said, “A toast, Mr. Quarles.”


    Ethan waved her down. “I can’t. I’m drivingter.” “I’ll take that, Tori.” Josephine stood up and raised


    Ethan’s ss for him, causing Tori’s smile to freeze. “Congrattions on finding a good boyfriend,


    Josephine.”


    “Thank you. And I hope you’ll find your happiness one day.” Tori went back to her seat, but her mood


    was foul. She dressed herself up perfectly tonight, and yet she was now among the crowd she looked


    down on. She felt like she was a joke. Frustrated, she downed ss after ss of wine. A male worker


    who liked her said, “You should stop, Tori.”


    Tori was a good drinker, so this much wasn’t enough to take her out. Josephine then went to the


    restroom, and Tori did the same. Right after Josephine finished washing her hands, Tori came out of


    the cubicle. They stared at each other in the mirror, and Tori blurted, “What did you do to him to make


    him so infatuated with you?”


    “Tori, I don’t care what you do with the other guys, but if you try to take Ethan, I’ll make you pay,


    Josephine warned as she looked at Tori in the mirror. “Is that a threat? You’re not even that established


    as his girlfriend yet, Tori snapped back.

    “Don’t challenge me,” said Josephine quietly. Tori shot her a look of mockery. “You’re just insecure. I


    know men, and Ethan’s the kind where women would throw themselves at his feet whenever he goes.


    If you’re that insecure about yourself, you should leave.”


    Josephine refused to talk to her, but Toril wouldn’t stop. “Do you really think he’ll only love you forever?


    Any man with money will never love a single woman. They’re the same, and. women will always be the


    object they chase after. He’s not going to only love you forever. Even without me, someone else will try


    to take him away from you.”


    Josephine wasn’t exactly a cocky person, but she would never dwell on matters she couldn’t control. All


    she wanted was a good life. She enjoyed the process, not the end, and that included rtionships.


    Even if she were to break up with Ethan someday, she wouldn’t dwell on it. What mattered was that the


    love. was there, and it was real.
