LIORA'S POV
I've called Ronan, asking how the night will turn out and he kept on assuring me that it will turn out spontaneously.
I looked to him, unsure as I'm pissed off at how Becky and Stanley are behaving as if everything was fine.
The evening was going as planned — or so I’d thought. I smoothed the tablecloth for the third time, trying to ignore the nervous flutter in my stomach. Becky was beside me, laughing with her boyfriend, Stanley, who seemed blissfully unaware of what was coming. Audrey sat across the table, casting a sly glance at Stanley now and then. It was unsettling to see them act so casual, as if they didn’t have secrets clawing at the walls around us.
I watched how Nikolai held Audrey's hand, with so much love and admiration as she talks...
God, I don't think I will be able to ruin his joy, so also my bestfriend Becky.
