“And from there, the classic swing band plays for the first hour, and then we just go to regular music for the rest of the night?” “That sounds right to me.” Cleo nodded, and I noticed that she and Darla were holding hands beneath the table.

But they had been the ones who had pulled enough strings to get me this amazing swing band to play the reception, Cleo’s socialite connections coming in handy, and I was so grateful to them for all their hard work.

She dragged him out of the smelly dance floor and went to one of the doors behind the bar counter. When they entered the room, the lights were off and Lucas heard several moans in different pitches.

When Cleo saw Lucas, he immediately pushed the women off of him and stood up.

"Clara, you're making a mistake!" Lucian's voice echoed behind her as she stormed down the dimly lit tunnel, holding the glowing crystal tightly in her hand. She didn't look back. "A mistake? The only mistake I made was trusting you!" she shouted over her shoulder. Listen to me!" "You don't grasp what you're dealing with!" Lucian shouted, hurriedly increasing his pace in an attempt to reach her. "stop following me behind me, Lucian!" Clara whirled around, her eyes blazing with intense fury. "You deceived me."

By some sort of miracle they both ended up in lala land .It was the most peaceful sleep both of them had in weeks.
