Chapter 15: A Silent Dinner

Victoria P.O.V

With a gasp, Victoria turns toward Cora. “Are you ok? Those guys were jerks.”

Cora waves her hands in between them. “Nothing I haven’t dealt with before. Now, I’m going to run to the bathroom.”

Victoria takes a step toward her. “I’ll go with you.”

“Oh, no need. This is one of the safest nightclubs in the city! Besides, some of the best of friends are made in the bathroom.” Cora winks, lips pouted and eyebrows wiggling, and skips away before either can come up with another excuse. Her black tail swings widely behind her, causing Antoni to chuckle.

Victoria whirls on him, smacking his arm. “Don’t laugh.”

“I’m not.” Antoni laughs. Victoria smacks her lips before turning around to face the bar again and pick up her forgotten drink.

Antoni frowns. Snatching the glass out of her hands, he calls for another. “Didn’t anyone ever tell you not to drink from glasses you’ve taken your eyes off of?”
