Scarlet's Point of View:
"Scarlet and Xavier! What a surprise," I heard a familiar voice and turned around to find Max.
"Max!" I said with a fake smile. "Didn't think you could make it."
"Perhaps the reason you brought Mr. Valencian?"
I looked at Xavier who was about to reply when I jumped in: "No, I did not bring him with me, Max. He came alone, just like you did."
He nodded slowly, his eyes filled with doubt. For some reason, he seemed to be a different person. It was like as long as everything went according to him, it was stars and glitters but the moment I did something wrong, he didn't have any feelings in his eyes for me. Yes, he didn't turn bitter— but isn't hiding emotions and true intentions worse?
It was like he turned into someone who didn't have a soul.
"Well, the wedding is about to start," Xavier said to break the uncomfortable silence, "So let's stand in line."
