520 Don't tell King Charming

Looking up from her phone, Alianna noticed Katherine in deep thoughts. She realized that she had been a bit too rash of what she said about Damien's past, which caused the other to worry. Putting her phone away, she cleared her throat and said, "It's been years since Damien threw parties like those. He's over it." She pursed her lips into a thin line.

Katherine darted her gaze and met Ali's, and she could only smile at the other's attempt to diffuse her thoughts. Whatever Damien did in the past shouldn't matter, but it still left a slightly bitter taste when her mind forced her to think of unattractive scenes. Grabbing a glass of sparkling water, she drank it all at once and brushed her thoughts away.
