Knowing Dahlia wasn't big on crowds, Douglas Wright let her stay in a corner while he went around introducing himself to the people nearby.
And then for the rest of the evening, he just followed Maya wherever she went.
Wynona, on the other hand, conveyed what they'd agreed on to the other members of the Warren family.
So just like that, everyone began acting normal, surprising Dahlia a little.
Once it was nine, she got up to leave.
She didn't see Douglas anywhere, so she booked a cab online and proceeded toward the door.
As she stepped outside the building, Maya's voice came behind her, "Dahlia, wait."
She stopped and turned around, meeting Maya's eyes.
Maya smiled faintly, walking to the road with her. "The party isn't ending until 2 a.m."
Dahlia slipped both hands into her front packet and looked away from her. "I have work in the morning."
Maya scratched her brow, eyeing her playfully. "You have work or… children to go home to?"
