She had changed, becoming a hundred times better than before! Yet, Damien Sterling's keen eyes caught the faint smile on her lips.
He glanced at the flamboyant woman on stage but felt no recognition. Given Emma's reaction, she was likely the friend who had betrayed Emma.

Tears mixed with water, a salty tang clinging to her lips. After a moment, Emma felt better. She turned to dry her face.
