Gala's party for a charity foundation. The night seems calm and Alice went alone to this part. Sometimes even 'adult' party, she used to bring her three years old daughter as her date. But this time she let her little Monster, sleep in the bed. Hopefully, Dominique wouldn't wake up waiting up to her mother shows up. Part of Alice knew there's a high chance of this happens. Mimi is the type of child that can't sleep alone for too long, and it doesn't matter how long Alice would be gone, she'd be waiting. Unfortunately, the child inherited the anxiety running on the veins of the Kingsley... Or well, more specifically her mother. She picked up her iPhone to check up some messages, before block it.

After seeing and greeting some of the other's wealthy people, pulling the best sympathetic smile she could ever have, she created over the years. Although her smile hides her true self, the eternal sadness that lives within her. She grabbed a glass of champagne from a waiter serving around, while walked towards the outside, close of the pool to take a fresh air. In spite of the place was full, but not that full somehow she feels suffocated. In her way to stay close of the window, she tumbled into someone, almost spilling the liquid in the person before her.  ❛  Sorry! I --  So --  ❜ Alice tried to apologize without paying attention who it really was, when she realized who is it, she let the champagne glass fall from her grasp and break near her feet. ❛ Declan?  ❜ Honestly, in a thousand of years, she'd never expect seeing an ex in Boston. She was in shock, speechless with no reaction.
