Phoebe blushed, lowering her eyelids. She glanced at the man leaning on the sofa, seemingly asleep. She said, "We agreed to only ask one question at a ti, didn't we?"
"Ah!" The crowd sighed with disappointnt, silently praying for Phoebe to be chosen for the next round. Unfortunately, luck only favored Ruby once, and the bottle never pointed at Phoebe again.
Vanessa, on the other hand, was chosen several tis, and she always chose "truth." When asked about her first love, she openly replied it was in high school. The sa went for her first kiss. She glanced at Theodore shyly, then answered it was also in high school.
Finally, soone asked her about the biggest regret in her life, and Vanessa replied that it was losing the person she loved the most.
Phoebe's emotions were complicated. Hearing Vanessa say that her first love and first kiss were both in high school made her feel jealous.
The party was almost over by ten o'clock, and everyone started to leave. Only Phoebe, Theodore, Vanessa, Ruby, and Patrick remained in the private room.
Theodore had his hand over his eyes, and Phoebe nudged him. "Theodore, wake up. Everyone has left; it's ti to go ho."
Vanessa stood beside them, feeling a sharp sting from the words "go ho." She tightly pursed her lips, silently looking at them. Ruby felt sad seeing her like this and gently tugged her, saying, "Let's go."
It was better to walk away and pretend not to see this pain. Theodore moved a bit, removing his hand. He squinted his eyes, his cheeks still flushed, and he still seed a little groggy. Phoebe leaned closer and said softly, "Let's go, it's ti to go ho."
Theodore stared at her for a mont, then sat up straight. His neck was still red as he said, "Right, let's go, it's ti to disperse."
Patrick approached and supported him, saying, "Let help you." But just as he put Theodore's arm on his shoulder, Theodore looked displeased.
"I don't need your help; I can walk on my own."
Phoebe watched him walk steadily and quickly grabbed her bag before taking his suit jacket and following him out. Patrick glanced at Vanessa and said, "Let's go ho too."
Vanessa felt downcast all night. She had thought that Theodore would accompany her to this class reunion to let everyone know they were a couple. She felt thrilled inside and dressed up beautifully for the occasion.
Everything was fine at first, but then Theodore left midway to take a phone call and returned with Phoebe. Everything changed. The way her classmates looked at her shifted from envy to pity. She felt like a living joke, wondering what they were laughing at in their hearts.
Clenching her fists, she turned and swiftly walked out of the private room. Ruby quickly followed her.
In the corridor, Phoebe caught up with Theodore, about to ask him if sothing was wrong, but he pushed her aside. Caught off guard, she stumbled back into an empty room.
Theodore strode in, pressed her against the wall, and his breath, tainted with alcohol, sprayed on her neck. He softly asked, "Three years ago, who did you deeply kiss: or Edward?"
