The night was supposed to be full of celebration. Everyone was enjoying their drinks, meals and everything that occurred in between. Lukas couldn't help but even be dragged into somewhere else by none other than Theodore himself.
Theodore draped an arm across his shoulders and nodded towards the two women with a charming smile. He moved fast across the gala's hall and swiftly avoided individuals that tried to greet him. "Hey, I missed this guy. Could I borrow him for a second?"
Lily's eyes widened and she tried to grab her cousin's arm. "Theo–"
"We'll be fine, fine. Don't worry." Lukas reassured them and waved off a hand. He didn't want the girls to get worried and he'd rather not have them attempt to save him or anything.
Luckily, or not, the next thing he knew, he was being brought to an isolated part of the mansion in a balcony away from everyone else. The music faded in the background.
The smile disappeared from Theodore's face and instead his face became blank.
