After so many gifts unwrapped and half of the cake eaten the guests finally began to leave.
Our mother was the last one to go, before hugging Evelyn tightly and wishing her again happy birthday.
When everyone left, Julian Evelyn Carol and I were the only ones left in the place so we sat at the table and refilled our glasses with champagne for the last toast.
"To a future without any need to hide the truth," I said referring to both Evelyn and myself.
Evelyn was kinda taken aback by my toast but then she smiled and lifted her glass.
Carol clinked her glass with Evelyn's and then leaned closer to her. Their noses brushed together until their lips locked in a sweet kiss.
When Evelyn departed, her cheeks had blushed so she covered her face embarrassed making both Julian and me giggle.
