Chloe’s Point of View
"Okay, but seriously, if my mate doesn’t do this exact proposal scene, fireworks, string quartet, the whole thing, I am rejecting him right there on the spot. No hesitation. "
Sky says, pointing towards the rom-com playing on the television and Maya snorts, shaking her head.
"Then you better start getting comfortable being single for the rest of your life."
We all laugh, but mine feels a little forced. I pull my knees up to my chest, resting my chin on them before I pick up a few pieces of popcorn, pop them into my mouth and chew slowly, my mind drifting.
"Hey, are you okay?"
Maya asks softly, touching my arm. I look at her and nod my head quickly.
"Yes. I'm okay... Just a little tired."
"Are you nervous about your birthday?"
Sky asks quietly and I shrug.
