Chapter 99

"Are we interrupting something?" Leeson asked in an amused voice when they caught up to them, earning him a frigid look from Cecil.

Cecil dropped Alois' arm like it was on fire, then stepped away from him and crossed his arms. "I don't know what you're talking about."

Perry was oblivious to what was going on and was just happy to see Cecil again. "We're really sorry for leaving without a word." He apologized with a deep bow.

Cecil frowned. "You did?" So much had happened that he didn't even remember how they separated, all he could remember was Alois stealing him off.

At the other end of the crowd were Henri and the others. Henri and Dodie had gotten their medals at the same time as they both competed in the same sport. Nael and Errol also wore their medals, the crowd was starting to disperse, and it was time to say goodbye.

Henri was quick to leave, politely saying goodbye to the new friends he made, and skillfully evading Fleur's reaching hands.
