Quinces POV
"I.. I'm taking my leave now" The neighbour with the Italian accent said a little awkwardly and I nodded slowly with a small smile as I watched him.
"Alright, goodnight" I said before shutting the door. The music was lowered because of that and the party started to die slowly.
I watched it happen from where I stood, one brow slightly raised, arms loosely crossed as Nathaniel dramatically announced his exit like he was leaving a stage instead of a living room. Sally followed not long after, laughing under her breath, while George tugged Moxie aside briefly before disappearing down the hallway with a quiet word I didn’t catch.
And just like that, it was over.
“Well,” I muttered under my breath, looking around at the aftermath, “that died faster than I expected.”
