........... Kiara ........... I hear footsteps coming towards the kitchen, and I quickly stand up straight and fix my face. “Hey,” Kay says, walking up to me with a smile, but it quickly falters when he takes in my expression. “Are you okay?” he asks and I nod, trying to give him the best smile that I can. I don’t want him to see that I’m upset and ruin his time with his parents. “Are you sure?” he asks again, and I tell him, walking away, unable to look him in the eye, but he catches hold of my hand and pulls me to him before hugging me. “It’s going to be fine, you’ll see,” he says in the hug and I tell him I know. We share a quick kiss when we pull back and he asks me what I need from him. I ask him to bring the wine and then get his parents. He does, and he goes to get them after.
