Julian instantly panicked and he subconsciously wanted to pull me, but I took two steps back to avoid him.
I turned and walked towards the door. As I passed the champagne tower, I glanced back at Jennie.
Julian helped her up and she leaned into his arms, her eyes meeting mine with a triumphant glint.
I smiled a little. After downing a glass of champagne in one go, I reached out and knocked over the champagne tower.
The shattering glass was crisp and pleasing, mingling with the women's high-pitched shrieks to form a strange and eerie melody.
Goodbye, Julian.
Goodbye, the boy who once stood before me to shield me.
