listening to the crowded speaking, carla tried her best to keep up with one conversation without trying to be distracted by another. her family were very big on welcome home parties, no matter the age. however, carla knew this was all just for show anyway. it wasn’t like they were actually excited about having carla visit for a few weeks, but it was so that they had an excuse to have this dinner and avoid much interaction with her at all. she was used to it, and it was a bit depressing but, not really to her. as she reached for her glass, sipping a bit of her drink before her mother interrupting to announce a very special arrival. carla raised her brows as she set her glass back down and with everyone’s attention turning to the two walking in — she could only sit in shock. had she known that he had been invited, carla would have definitely made an excuse not to see her childhood best friend she had been in love with for.. well, forever.
