closed starter for @hcrizn ( louise )
The introvert in him would rather be anywhere else but at the party that he was near forcibly yanked to. Choosing to seclude himself from the masses, Jack had withdrawn to a corner with an empty cup in his grip that was just for show. He had stopped drinking ages ago when he had let go off the part of his existence he wanted to bury deep within his chest and never glance back at again. The well meaning yet irksome of a friend who had chosen to ignore his deathly gaze and coerce him to attend a party had pulled a disappearing act, only making an appearance again with a girl in tow. An introduction took place and that was when it hit him like lightning. The face — no, the haughty arch of her brows and the way her nose scrunched in disgust, it was all too familiar to just forget.
“ Louise ? ” Jack asked, tentatively throwing the name. “ The last I saw you, was London, about five years ago. How have you been ? ” There was forced politeness lacing his tone like sweet venom.
