“I bet you’d find it delicious even if he handed you a glass of poison,” Vermont responded dryly, but Felicity ignored him.
“Here, Stella. Give it a try.”
Stella took a sip and wrinkled her nose, “It’s a little too sweet for me. You have it.”
“The sweetness is what helps mask the taste of the alcohol,” Felicity explained as she downed the glass in one gulp.
The party also featured magic performances and appearances by internet celebrities. Stella was not too interested in the two, so she secretly slipped away with Keegan to a private room for a soak in the hot spring.
Perhaps it was fate, but the room they entered was the same one they were in two years ago.
Stella brought up the past as she nestled in Keegan’s arms, “Do you remember that time when we were here?”
Keegan nodded.
“Do you know you slept in here for an entire day?” complained Stella.
Keegan chuckled and said, “I was really exhausted that day.”
Stella snorted, “I brought so many clothes that day, wanting to show them to you. But you slept like a log.”
Keegan paused. ’Did you bring them this time?” he asked.
“What? Of course not. We’re here for Jaylene’s birthday party. Why the hell would I bring any sexy clothes?”
Keegan seemed slightly disappointed. “Hmm… How about I ask Aldor to bring them over?”
Stella’s eyelid twitched. ’You’re really something else, huh?” she said.
