A few days Later, Claudia was having dinner with Aurora at a restaurant when she saw Kayla and Bennett walk in together. She was so shocked that she felt as if someone just punched her right in the head.

She dropped her fork on the table, making a loud clanging sound and attracting the attention of everyone around.

Aurora, who was texting back her colleague while complaining she might have to work overtime tonight, noticed that Claudia's eyes had turned red and that grievance had twisted her normally delicate features when she looked up. Bewildered, Aurora asked, “Cece?”

What had happened in the mere seconds that she Lowered her head to check her phone?

Aurora was really perplexed by the vexed look on her best friend's face.
