Beneath The Facade
I twist my mouth, and my facial muscles relax as we share a moment of understanding.
However, the unsettling feeling within me still lingers about my standing in Hermione's view. I feel like I can't compare to the history she shares with Xavier – years of friendship that have deepened their bond.
Nevertheless, I'll continue to be persistent until she lets me in and accepts me as her partner. I grasp the door handle and step out of the restroom, granting Xavier the privacy he needs.
As I head back to the bar area, Hermione intercepts me, her eyes blazing with simmering fury, her expression deathly calm. My step falters when I run into her, and my heart skips a beat.
