Well, I felt bad for Charlotte and Alistair. Their launch party just got spoiled when they entered. Not because of Heather because she looked resplendent in her shimmery golden one shoulder gown, no but because of Ethan. He had an arm wrapped around her waist as they posed for the cameras.

The paparazzi threw endless questions at them about their relationship. They stuck to short and vague answers. After they had been clicked a few dozen times, they finally moved on and began mingling with people around. They hadn't noticed us.

We continued with our conversation about pointless things till they finally joined us after about twenty minutes or so.

Alistair excused himself to attend to his guests. People were crowding around the newly launched car and clicking pictures of it, or posing with it.
