22. I'll take care of her

Gareth's POV

The show was a huge success, just like I knew it would be. The students had put up a great show. I was proud for being able to handle it, although most of the work was not done by me, I still was happy. Confetti spread across the entire field, I saw some workers removing easily movable equipment back inside while the main stage and other heavy items were planned to be moved back the next day.

I was a little farther away with a teacher checking the item count, when I saw Briar going towards the changing room. I would’ve followed her immediately, but two very important thoughts came in my mind. One, why am I going there? And two, even if I go, what will I do?

So, I decided to ignore it for the time being. I shook my head knowing how quickly she filled my brain and how intrigued I was to follow her. She always does that with my head. I don’t even know how long I was staring at her during the performances, as if she was the only one dancing.

Her presence like serene moonlight
