The constant buzz of conversation, laughter, and music blurred into a monotonous hum. All I wanted was to leave and retreat to the solitude of my room, but Owen was still deeply engaged in conversation, his charismatic demeanor captivating everyone around him.I glanced in his direction, my nervousness stopping me from approaching him. ‘Would he be annoyed if I interrupted?’ I didn’t dare to find out. Instead, I stayed rooted in my spot, silently hoping he would eventually notice my exhaustion.Minutes dragged by, feeling like hours. I shifted on my feet, trying to stay composed despite my growing discomfort. Finally, I noticed Owen’s gaze flicker toward me.

It just brings back memories of how we used to spend weekends playing together as kids, especially with our mother.I was standing beside the window in my room, lost in my own thoughts when my eyes casted upon Aurora.
