An Outcast in the Sea of Couples

Meanwhile, by the Lock Heart family table, Bella was casually sipping on her wine as she watched the festivities unfold. Sure, she was alone, and everyone else seemed to be having the time of their lives, but that was just to be expected.

Bella chuckled at Poona's quick remark. True, she did have a bit of thought on whether or not to let loose and be a menace to society for kicks, but Mother would surely have her hide if she ever dared to ruin this moment for everybody else. 

It wouldn't matter that Jayra would've probably appreciated the funny things she had brewing in her head. What did was her mother heckling her for not only being an unruly daughter but for also refusing to let go of her supposed infatuation with Calypso.
