There were at least ten people spread throughout the living area. Loud music was playing. Some of them were dancing in the middle while others were drinking on the couch. Some were standing as well. Bottles of alcohol and glasses were scattered across the table. She froze on the spot, staring at the chaos in the apartment. She spotted Sloane dancing with a few other girls, carefree and laughing. All of them were drunk.
She swallowed, shocked to her wits' end. As she looked around, her eyes met Dane's. He was leaning against the kitchen counter with another man beside him. Both of them looked at her. Dane waved at her as soon as their eyes met.
Suddenly, Sloane noticed her and rushed over.
"Hey! You're back! We're having a little party here. Come join us!" She shouted, grabbing her hand. The music was so loud they had to shout.
Coral shook her head. "I'm tired. I need to freshen up. You enjoy your party." She said loudly, pulling her hand free from Sloane's grip.
