How It Went

"Ready to go?" Jared asked, grinning widely. He seemed so happy, the light catching in his eyes, glittering. They definitely talked it out. Jared smacked Cage on the arm in a show of camaraderie, which surprised everyone. Katherine ended up hugging Jared and whispering how happy she was for him in his ear. 

Lily was equally cheerful. 

"Your manager's an idiot," Angelina commented from the side. 

"Welcome to the club," Cage snickered, picking up a few bags. 

"Angel, you're in love with me. It doesn't bode well for you." Stephen looked smug.

"Never said I was the sharpest tool in the box," she said in a sing song voice. Which was true. She wasn't. 

"The only tool you need..." he trailed off, waggling his eyebrows at her. She rolled her eyes and picked up the small bag of leftover booze. Even after drinking until they dropped, they hadn't been able to finish the contents of the bag.
