When Aurora Blaine arrived, Kane Townsend happened to be going out.
"What's wrong, you feeling unwell?" Aurora asked with concern.
"It's nothing, let's go." Kane replied.
Perhaps during this time, Maverick Knight and Jace Pierce had a conversation, because from the moment they came out, Jace's gaze was on Kane.
They left the restaurant.
They stood by the roadside, waiting for the driver to come.
A few young people zoomed past on motorcycles.
Jace was close by, and he reached out to briefly pull the girl's shoulder, gently guiding her back a few steps.
Under the shop lights and street lamps, Jace noticed her cheeks and ears tinged with a rosy blush.
He didn't know her alcohol tolerance was that poor, nor that the drink had such a high alcohol content.
If you can't drink, then don't. Why put on a brave face?
Within just a few seconds, Jace let go.
After throwing up, Kane felt much better, although the warmth on her cheeks was hard to disperse.
