As Odessa and I scanned our gazes around the event hall, taking in its grandeur and the interactions between the people while both trying to pretend like what happened with Lucinda didn't happen, something caught my attention.
Or rather, someone.
Celine turned her head to face us, her eyes lighting up as she flashed one last smile at the American president before she walked toward us.
Somehow, her high heels managed to echo into my ears despite the chattering and music in the hall, causing me to subconsciously roll my eyes.
'Where's a desperate bitch repellent spray when you need one?' Damon remarked with frustration, but I kept a calm demeanor as Celine finally got in front of Odessa and me.
"The prized couple themselves." She nearly exclaimed, spreading out her arms with excitement.
Too much excitement, if you ask me.
