Melena couldn't keep her nerves in check. Her friends even noticed before she did. Lando continued to send her apologetic smiles, her brother's watchful gaze felt awfully close at times and Valerie, while trying and failing, was in desperate hopes of distracting her from her thoughts. She just couldn't stop overthinking. It sounded so simple — to enjoy a night out, to push herself over that barrier, to finally face him and to ignore her ongoing disappointment and hopelessness that was still so much attached to him.
