[BONFIRE]
"Well, this is a bit... sad," Nina couldn’t help but whisper, looking at the slightly empty bonfire. Aside from her and Finn, Allen was with them. However, Allen stayed far away and wouldn’t even look at the couple.
"Why are you sad, darling?" Finn asked, tilting his head slightly to the side. "I’m here with you."
"Finn, you know when you say that, I feel like I’m with a very dangerous person," Nina blurted out without hesitation. "I feel like I’m this close to getting locked up just so you can keep me all for yourself."
Finn laughed before suddenly stopping. "You’re close to uncovering the biggest plot, Nina."
"..." Nina frowned and cupped her face. "Finn, your humor would do well with First Brother."
"Haha. I think your humor is darker, hon," he quipped, looking around the bonfire. "But you’re right. It’s quite sad now that it’s just the three of us here. I think I got used to the big group."
"I know, right?" Nina sighed before she caught sight of some figures from the corner of her eyes. "Oh, I think they’re here!"
Nina perked up, staring at the figures in the darkness. As the group got closer, her mouth curved into a smile. Approaching were James and Max, carrying Ray between them, his arm over their shoulders, followed by Lily and Ginnie. Even Finn and Allen shifted their attention to the group upon hearing Nina’s voice.
"What happened to him?" Finn’s first question was directed at Max and James, noticing that they were carrying Ray.
"Don’t ask me about it," Max clicked his tongue and glared at Ray. "He’s a love struck fool. That woman almost killed him, but look at him. His eyes were swirling with hearts! He’s a lost cause. Once I get back to the city, I’m taking him with me to find someone."
Although finding someone interested in Ray was not really Ray’s problem.
James smiled awkwardly. "I think he’ll be fine. Mint buried him in the sand, but he’ll be fine... I guess."
"Hehe. That was a good shot!" Lily happily sat down next to Nina and Finn, holding her phone. "Nina, look at this."
When Lily eagerly showed Nina and Finn the pictures she had taken, the couple couldn’t help but have their faces twitch.
"It looks like a bullying incident," Finn muttered under his breath, only to hear Lily happily say, "I’m adding this to the fan club memories. I’m thinking of hosting a fan club retreat."
"Lily, do you hate Penny?" Finn asked out of pure curiosity. "You know how much she hates the attention."
"Oh, come on! Penny loves it! What are you talking about?" Lily grinned as she retrieved her phone. "She even told me she needed another reunion party and some more during the reunion!"
Nina and Finn were rendered speechless, considering whether Lily was lying. But why would she lie? There was no reason to. This was about Penny, and Lily loved Penny to the core. Still, Nina and Finn couldn’t imagine Penny giving this suggestion.
Little did they know that Lily wasn’t lying. Penny had suggested the retreat to Lily, but she’d asked for it after a few drinks.
