Chapter 63 Office Party

• I knew how it went but why did it hurt so much this time.
• As soon as Storm and I approached the door, I let go of his hand. He walked on faster and got in before me into the room. I turned, and walked away from him. When I was far enough I turned around to search for him. Maybe this time he would be looking for me and scold me for leaving his side but he didn’t. I watched as he nodded and greeted those he thought worthy of his greeting. He continued marching on until he was before his father. They talked a little and by then it was obvious that he knew I wasn't on his side or anywhere near him anymore. He didn’t even search for me in the crowd with his eyes.
• I swallowed, knowing my job was to disappear from sight and not make a mockery of him.
