#Chapter 160: Pack Business

Ava I let Chris lead me back to the party, the sounds of laughter and music growing louder as we approached. The town square had become even more raucous since I had slipped away to follow Elise, a throng of people dancing to the music and the bar crowded with attendees. Chris pulled me close as we reached the dance floor, his arms wrapping around my waist. Despite his inebriated state, he moved gracefully, swaying us confidently to the rhythm of the music. Nearby, I spotted Ophelia and Leonard, looking just as content as they danced together. “Look at those two,” I murmured to Chris, nodding towards our friends. “They seem so happy.” Chris grinned, his eyes slightly unfocused from the alcohol but warm. “They do, don’t they? I’m glad Leonard has finally found someone.” “Me too.” I glanced up at Chris’s taut jawline and gave his shoulder a squeeze. “But Chris, I’m worried Elise—” Before I could finish, Ophelia caught my eye and beamed brightly.
