The Dream

Gastone clutched his chest as he decided to leave the party early. He just wanted to get away as far as possible and cry himself to sleep.

"Fancy seeing you here again," a familiar voice sounded behind. 

Gastone turned around and saw Giselle smoking a fancy pip. She was leaning against the statue, looking bored. 

"Oh, why are you here?" Gastone asked curiously. He composed himself and walked toward Giselle. "Don't you want to join the fun?"

"I can ask the same thing for you," Giselle chuckled and blew a smoke. "Your friend is getting married. Yet, you are here outside." 

Gastone's face hardened. He felt Giselle was trying to get information based on his reaction. "The crowd is too much for me, but I knew the plan beforehand." 

"Really? You seem surprised to me. Just like everyone else," Giselle shook her head as she slightly disapproved of Daniel's sudden marriage news.
