Emily: biting nails D-do you think he even noticed us? It's like we're invisible!!
Nicholas
“You are not!”
blushing, looks down I mean, it's not that I don't want him to notice us... it's just, we're here for his fiancée, right? It feels kinda... weird.
Nicholas
“I get it.”
fidgeting with her dress I-I can't help but wonder why he chose her. I mean, she's nice and all, but we've been friends for so much longer.
Nicholas
“Jealous?”
N-no! I mean, I guess maybe a little. But it's not fair! How could he just... forget about us?
Nicholas
“He didn’t forget.”
crosses arms, determined Well, I refuse to let this engagement ruin our friendship. We're here together, and we're going to support each other no matter what.
Nicholas
“Absolutely.”
takes a deep breath Okay, let's focus on ourselves tonight. Let's make sure we have fun and enjoy the party. Who knows, maybe we'll meet someone new or discover a hidden talent.
Nicholas
“Sounds good.”
grabs Nicholas' hand Come on, let's go dance! Forget about the sadness and just enjoy the night.
Nicholas
“Sure.”
whispering I have an idea! Let's pretend we're lost and ask someone to help us find our way back to the party.
Nicholas
“Nice try, Em.”
grinning mischievously Oh come on, it'll be fun! We can make up some silly story and act confused. Trust me, it'll lighten the mood.
Nicholas
“Okay, okay.”
grabs Nicholas' arm and starts walking towards a random guest Excuse me, sir! We seem to have lost our way back to the party. Could you please help us find it? Guest: smiling politely Of course, follow me. I'll show you the way.
Nicholas
“Thank you so much.”
As they follow the guest back to the party, Emily accidentally bumps into another guest, spilling their drink all over Nicholas' suit.
Nicholas
“Oh shit!”
panicking Oh no! I am so sorry! Let me help you clean it off. starts frantically wiping Nicholas' suit with a napkin
Nicholas
“Don’t worry about it, it’s fine.”
stammering I-I'm really sorry, Nicholas. I didn't mean to... ugh, how embarrassing!
Nicholas
“Hey, it happens. Let’s get out of here and get cleaned up.”
nodding Okay, let's go to the restroom and see if we can fix this. Stay close, I don't want you to miss anything.
Nicholas
“lead the way.”
leading Nicholas to the restroom Okay, once we're inside, we can use some tissues to blot the stain.
Nicholas
“Alright.”
