— ❝ YOU'RE HOSTING KAMI'S LAUNCH party this month, right?" A woman questioned as you nodded, a smile present on your face. "Yeah! I'm really excited for the debut of it." You replied, taking a sip of your champagne. "I'm sure it's gonna be amazing, i've seen some of your work online. Do you do book release events as well?" She questioned, scrunching her brows slightly as she waited for a response. You nodded again, "Yeah, I do almost everything. You can always call me for anything. Here's my number." Your smile grew bigger as you handed your business card over. The woman read over your card before happily nodding and excusing herself.
You tried to contain your smile as you excused yourself as well, walking away and over to the small bar. A few people have came up to you, asking about your work. This was the first time in a while where people noticed you for what you've built and not what Armin or your dad has. It made you feel special and like people were actually interested in you and your work. "Hi, can I get a glass of rosé?" You questioned, placing your old glass on the bar top. The bar tender gave a small nod before walking over to get your champagne. Leaning against the bar, you scanned the room as you waited for your drink, nothing really catching your eyes until you noticed Armin talking to Eren.
He seemed like he was thinking hard. You wondered what it was about, just out of curiosity. You didn't notice how long you were staring for until Armin looked in your direction, your eyes instantly locking. You both stared at one another, your heart beginning to pick up speed before you bit the inside of your cheek and looked away, smiling at the bar tender as he handed you your drink right in time. "Thank you." You spoke, grabbing the glass and walking off. Though you were trying to ignore Armin as best as you could, it was hard when every second he was looking at you or trying to follow you around.
You couldn't forgive him and you didn't understand why. Maybe because there was a little voice in the back of your head constantly telling you how you'll never be enough for him. No one could ever please the "nonchalant" quiet prince of Eloida, so why would you be able to? You couldn't imagine yourself constantly trying to please him, trying to make him open up and just give fucking effort. Maybe he was trying now, but who knows, once you forgive him will he just go back to how he was? Ignoring you when he was angry, never speaking to you unless necessary? Saying everything you both do is a mistake? You'd always been easy to trust anyone and that's why you got in so much trouble.
