I walked up the gates and walked inside putting on my best fake smile.. I greeted some people and talked around for a while we waited for Joe and Sophie's arrival..
A photographer opened a corner for the photographs and so we didn't lose time, started taking pictures of all the guests.. including me and Nick, of course..

We didn't say a word to eachother.. in fact, I didn't even dare look at him, afraid I would burst into tears
Nick tried to do small talk but I didn't really helped him continue it.. he eventually got the hint though..
Joe and Sophie finally arrived and we too some more photos.. I tried my best to not look mad, but I wasn't sure I made it

The night went on pretty smoothly.. yes I had to sit next to Nicholas and sometimes talk to him, but next to me was Maya, with who I had grown closer over the years, so I also took that as an opportunity to catch up and talk to her
Close to the end of the diner, Nick put an arm on my chair while people started invading the dancefloor.. I knew he was now waiting for our table to get completely empty so that we could talk..
I sighed and waited along with him feeling my stomach turn.. and it wasn't because of the food
- Can we talk now? - I asked quietly but loud enough for him to hear me
He stood there looking at the dancefloor for a while until he finally stood up picking up my hand - Lets just dance first..
- No Nicholas, you said it yourself.. we really need to talk..
He licked his lips - Do you trust me?
I stared at his eyes seeing how dedicated he looked.. his eyes were jumping between mine as he waited for my answer
I rached out for his hand and he smiled slightly before helping me stand up
The music was slow so I could only assume he would talk with me while we swayed
