ANNIVERSARY (3)

"Ladies and gentlemen, you all know why we are here?," Chris asks, his voice sounding like a trumpet. He looks over the crowd as they all assembled themselves in his parent's sitting room, they all sat paying attention to him. Cass was seated on the lounge placed at the back of one of the sofas, she was busy going through her phone. He looks over at Karen and there she sat on one of the tall stools of the bar, she leaned against the countertop lost in her own thoughts, casting her gaze on her cup of acoholic wine she kept downing. He looks at others and all attention was on him but he could see the hatred in Jane's mom's eyes. Even without being told, she still resent him.
