    Spencer turned toward Ste with a mock re, "Aren''t you tempted to ditch him and run into my


    arms?"


    She rolled her eyes in response, "You really should call someone to pick you up. You''repletely


    sloshed. How did I never realize you were such a master of nonsense?"


    Spencer snorted dismissively, "I''m nting a thorn in your heart on purpose, hoping to stir some guilt.


    Why should you find happiness before me?"


    Chuckling, Ste retorted, "You overestimate your influence. I''m heartless, remember? Any thorn you


    nt would just end up in my stomach."


    Undeterred, Spencer shot back, "Then I''ll make sure it pricks you there!"


    Ste dismissed his words with a scoff, "Grow up, Spencer."


    Spencer wobbly called his friends, who were nearby. Soon enough, his friends arrived to escort him


    home. Before leaving, he pulled Keegan aside, whispering something. His friends then hurriedly led


    him away.


    Curious, Ste inquired, "What did he say to you?"


    Keegan replied cryptically, "Just some guy stuff."


    Ste snorted, suspecting the nature of their conversation, ’He must have been sharing one of those


    embarrassing stories from school. If Spencer ever marries, I have a few tales of my own to share with


    his bride.''


    Reflecting on Spencer''s parting words, Keegan felt amused yet challenged. Spencer had quipped,


    ''Marriage is love''s graveyard. Let''s see how long youst. If you ever grow tired of each other, I''ll be


    waiting. But try to keep her in your "graveyard" forever, if you can.'' ''As if I''d ever let her go,'' Keegan


    thought defiantly.


    Noticing that Jaylene had passed out, Ste turned to Keegan with a mischievous glint in her eyes,


    "Darling, I have an idea."


    At the term of endearment, Keegan''s attention sharpened, "What''s on your mind?" "Treat others as


    they treat US," Ste suggested slyly.


    Keegan cautioned, "Nothing illegal, though."


    Ste huffed, "I''m not bound by such high moral standards. Otherwise, we might as well involve the


    police."


    Keegan remained silent, his expression thoughtful.


    Impatient with his hesitation, Ste pondered, ''Sometimes, Keegan''s adherence to rules can be a little


    too rigid for my liking. Morality is subjective, after all.''


    She then dialed Aldor’s number on her phone, "Stop spectating. We need your help."


    A few minutester, Aldor arrived with Aurora and helped the stillunconscious Jaylene into the car.
