EVIE "Anth come and dance!" I cry out, pulling him to the dance floor. He rolls his eyes at me, laughing, as Essie sways to the side of us. I grab my drink, downing it, the Absinthe warming my system nicely. I wasn't drunk by any means, but I was definitely feeling the buzz. The DJ was going to start soon and she was gorgeous. I hadn't seen her yet today, but I was hoping that she could be my fated Mate. We hit the dance floor, a Spotify play list running until Kylie, the DJ, takes the stage. A few songs into it, nerves hit me like a ton of bricks, but I don't know why. I excuse myself from the group, heading to the bathroom to freshen my face. I walk through the hallway, heading to the bathroom. Nerves are running through my body, heightened to everything around me. Tension is thrumm
