Chapter 90

DARON LED SIAN TO THE refreshments table and while they stood chatting the others came over too. Sian glanced at Cat.

'How's it going? Not too overwhelming?'

'Honestly it feels like a dream, I'm sure it'll hit me tomorrow.'

Sian hugged her. 'It'll hit us all tomorrow; a new beginning.'

Gredel and Citaan arrived at the table. Citaan smiled sleepily at them.

'We're going to head upstairs,' Gredel said. 'Citaan's had enough.'

Sian and the other girls hugged Citaan and Kassie made Gredel blush when she insisted on kissing him on the cheek. They watched the couple make their way out of the ballroom.
