After cutting the cake, the party began in full swing, with laughter, music, and dance filling the living room that Berry's friends had turned into a banquet hall. It was only a small gathering with family and friends, but an outsider would think there was a hidden club within the house. Berry's friends had made sure of that.
The two best friends had escaped away from the rest and were now sitting in a corner where they were sure no one would find them, especially not their possessive partners. Rowan and Stuart had taken their eyes off them for one second, and they took that chance to escape.
