Everyone was drinking and laughing

   I sat at the mini-bar looking at everyone having a good time. I couldn't help but think that at this moment everything was perfect.

                        But in my life, nothing can ever
                                             stay perfect for a long

As I took a slow sip of my drink, I could feel the alcohol kicking in, making me feel warm and relaxed. Looking around, I spotted Daniel twirling Heidi on the dance floor, both of them clearly enjoying themselves.

But just as I was getting lost in the scene, someone unexpected appeared beside me, breaking my train of thought. It was Max Fewtrell. His sudden presence startled me, and I felt a surge of fear wash over me.

Max's unexpected arrival felt like a coincidence, especially with all the fun happening around us. As he settled into the seat next to me, his expression was hard to read, adding a sense of mystery to the moment.

Suddenly, the noise of the party seemed to fade away, and I couldn't shake the feeling of uncertainty that Max's presence brought. It was like his being there was significant, but I couldn't quite figure out why, leaving me with a whirlwind of emotions to sort through.

   "So in one night and a couple of hours everything is just okay between you two?" - Max Fewtrell
  
    "Yeah, everything's fine but we're taking it slow," I respond

            "Well if you two say so, just be careful with one another. You two are meant to be but if you rush it, back to square one," he said, As I exchanged smiles with Max, his gentle tap on my back lingered warmly as he departed. However, beneath the surface of that pleasant moment, doubts crept into my mind. I found myself questioning the wisdom of rekindling my connection with Lando, fearing that this decision might not lead to the happiness I crave. The unsettling feeling of a potentially unhappy outcome loomed over me.

While making my way towards my brother and Pierre, I clutched a new drink in my hand, the details of which escaped my memory. I couldn't shake off the nagging concern that I might be entering a situation with Lando that could lack the joyful resolution I hoped for.

   "What number drink is this," my brother asked, he looked curious while looking at Pierre.

   "My fourth," I said, Pierre grabbed the drink from my hand and set it down.

     "You arrived with Lando, you seemed so happy, and now; well you're all sappy and lost. What happened?" my brother asked.

  " For almost two years now, I've chosen to keep my distance from Lando. During this time, I've noticed positive changes in both our lives. He's doing great, and personally, I've been thriving independently. Our separate paths have been smooth, and we've managed well without each other. What if my presence disrupts the positive flow we've established? Lando's current success and our individual growth could potentially be compromised if we continue. It's a dilemma, questioning whether my comeback might bring back old issues and hinder the progress we've made on our own,"

As I stood there, lost in my thoughts, I noticed my brother and Pierre exchanging glances, their expressions suggesting that they thought I was overanalyzing things as usual. Pierre approached me, handing back my drink with a friendly grin. "Looks like you could use this after all," he remarked, offering a comforting pat on the back. I couldn't help but roll my eyes, but I appreciated the gesture nonetheless.
