Our first night still hasn't started, as guests keep coming. These guests are from work, friends, and also Joe, who arrived with Aurora. We haven't had time to be together; he seems very busy and hasn't approached me until now.
Sophia was already asleep, Kimberly went out saying she was hanging out with other friends, which I didn't mind since she deserves quality time for herself. I turned off the night light, then walked out of the room and headed upstairs, hoping Brandon would be there.
But he wasn't there, and the entire place felt eerily quiet, so I decided to head towards the balcony to enjoy the night view. There, I found Brandon sitting on a chair, holding a wine bottle and shirtless.
I approached him, immediately smelling the strong scent of alcohol.
"Brandon, why are you drunk?" I quickly took the bottle and placed it on the table.
He remained silent without looking at me.
