After the dance ended, everyone returned to their tables. Lynn was quite satisfied because she managed to dance with Emma and Kate. Stephen, on the other hand, danced with Emma since his dance partner was taken away.
Ethan sat beside Claire's table because the other table was fully occupied. Naturally, Annabelle sat beside Ethan. Chloe, Lynn, Sarah, and Emma had knowing smiles on their faces. Everyone in their group was aware of Annabelle's intentions.
Perhaps Ethan also knew, but for him, Annabelle was just a friend. It may not look like it, but he was still in love with Kate. The only reason why he wasn't being proactive about it was because he was feeling insecure about himself.
Why did he feel insecure? It was because of what happened during the last Night Raid. For them, it was a nightmare. Something that would always visit them in their dreams. It made them realize that having powers was not enough. There would always be someone who was more powerful.
