it was hard for vedette to not stare daggers across the room when she caught sight of a particular dickhead sitting at the bar. she can’t believe he had the nerve to show up at monarch, let alone say the things to eva that he did, so in the back of her mind she was hoping the force would somehow become a reality and she could choke him to death without even having to lift a finger. she had let her eyes linger off of him for a moment but when she looked back, he was gone. she felt like someone was watching her, and before she had the chance to fully process it she heard connor’s voice speak up behind her. “oh god” she groaned, raising her wine glass to her lips and taking a sip as her eyes rolled. “you’re lucky i’m even letting you stand within ten feet of me right now” she retorted. “why the fuck are you here connor…like genuinely, don’t you think you’ve done enough to eva already?” she sarcastically asked.
connor slid in to the seat opposite her with the biggest grin on his face, knowing how annoyed she was by his presence. “i’m here to study like everyone else. i hear the film studies course is pretty decent here.” connor told a half truth but the smile on his face certainly led more to be believed. “as for eva, she’s a big girl. i’m sure my presence won’t be the worst thing for her.”
