Moving On

"Are you alright?" Kinnon Youngshaper asked his future Luna as soon as they got into the car.

Lucien had gone silent for the remainder of the night, and Kinnon knew why. Although Lucien did not openly show his dislike in front of everyone to preserve their faces, he must be angry that Kinnon kissed him like that in public. It was their first kiss as a couple, too.

To make matters worse, Lucien had to watch as Ronan Silverback fell upon Lillian Woodland like a hungry beast the whole night long. It was like stumbling upon a scene of a tragic car accident. He wanted to look away, but the picture was already carved into his skull. He was forced to watch the same display again and again. It was not possible to erase it.

"Mm," was Lucien's answer. He leaned against the car window with an elbow resting against the window frame. The other arm was draped around Ralph who had his head lying on Lucien's lap.
