The party was a success with a few dramatic moments thrown in. Emory had “accidentally” spilled her sangria down the back of Nina’s white dress. Nina was livid and had a few words for Emory, all of which were nasty. Emory apologized. However, the smirk on her face took away from the sincerity. Sadie made sure to steer clear of that mess. But she was always “Team Emory.”
Drama seemed to follow Emory around the entire night. Ever since Thanksgiving, if Ethan was around, Emory wasn’t. Easter had been the only exception and even then, she ignored him the entire dinner. Tonight, seemed to be the first time since then that these two had been in the same room. Sadie had never mentioned the Thanksgiving incident between them to anyone but Stone. He just shrugged and said, “Ethan has two choices, he can pull his head out of his ass, or he can lose the missing puzzle piece.” When Sadie asked what that meant he just shrugged again and said Ethan knew. And they left it at that.
The tension only grew thicker when Brayden, Emory’s new boyfriend, showed up. Sadie was taken aback by Ethan’s behavior. He wasn’t just mad; he was raging to Stone and Bogs in the back corner. They had to calm him down before they finally came back to the table. Ethan never returned to the table. Instead, he chose to leave. She thought it would bother Emory but she looked happy to be with Brayden. She never even looked in Ethan’s direction as he left, but he watched her until he was out the door.
The rest of the night continued without any more drama.
“You ready, baby?” Stone asked. He came up behind her and he wrapped his arms around her waist. She nodded as she looked out into the night from the patio. Almost everyone had gone, just a few stragglers finishing up drinks. They stood in silence as the warm breeze sifted through my hair. The music was still playing in the background.
“So, was your night perfect?”
“It was perfectly imperfect,” Sadie whispered.
“Just like us, sweet girl,” Stone whispered in her ear before kissing her neck.
