Chapter 79

　　Lana took in deep breaths to calm herself as she skilfully steered herself through the crowd and snuck into another restroom downstairs to wipe her tears and to fix her appearance, she did not want to alarm her friends when she went back to the couch to retrieve her purse with tears rolling down her cheeks. Her eyes and nose were a little red and she hoped that the low lighting in the living room would make them less noticeable. The longer she stared at her reflection in the mirror, the stronger the urge to just cry was building up in her core.

　　She slapped her cheeks with her palms and scolded herself mentally. She can’t cry now, she had to hold it in until she managed to leave the house without anyone noticing any changes. There was a knock on the restroom door which caused Lana to jolt to attention. She looked at herself one more time in the mirror before turning to open the door.
