"What? Of course I can. He's the odd one standing in the far corner. He's very suspicious."
In that case, everyone should be able to take notice of him. However, only Diana could, and she stared right at him with an unwavering gaze.
I gulped, looking back to Corvin, watching as he tipped his head. Did he notice Diana could see him too? Even though his face was concealed, I could tell he did. I can't let him set his sights on Diana.
"I need some air."
"Right now?"
"Yes, I don't feel so good. The music is making everything wobbly. I need some quiet."
"Okay, let me just—"
When she turned her back, I used that opportunity to slip out. Thanks to the crowd, I blended in perfectly. I saw movement, and Corvin strolled too. I turned away, stepping into another hall, a gallery, but it was empty.
I heard footsteps approaching me.
"May I ask who that lovely lady is?"
He's asking about Diana.
"No one."
"Hmm..."
I faced the intruder. "You're here, which means you never left."
