It was a painful dinner as I could barely shove my food down my throat.
And my chest kept getting hit with pangs upon pangs whenever Brittany and William touched affectionately.
William never glances at me not even once. It's like I don't exist.
After dinner, we took to the living room to share a bottle of wine and have a conversation.
I sat on the couch watching everyone happily contributing to the conversation whilst I am dying inside watching William shower Brittany with affection. I just kept taking in the pain. Thanks to the mood-stabilizing drugs I didn't act out.
My mom suddenly nods in my direction.
It was time for me to play the violin.
I stood up gracefully and reached for the violin case that was leaning at the foot of the couch beside me
I carefully brought out the violin and bow.
I walked to the middle of the room. I took three drags of deep breaths and I was good to go.
I watch William as I pinched the bow between my fingers effortlessly.
