Listen In...

A quick listen wouldn't hurt anybody... You stepped towards the door, being sure to be quiet. You pressed your ear against the door and strained to listen over the music down the hallway.

"...me, afterall." You heard Stantalk about something, but you weren't sure what. You did hear the smug tone in his voice though.

"Knowing... won't be that... and Jacob..." Emily responded. You could hear a hint of amused spite in her voice, probably towards Stan.

"Psh, Jacob will let me..." You frowned, frustrated from the loud music that drowned out Stan's sentence.

"I'm pretty much part of their family after all." You heard him say as the song ended.

"Hah! Whatever you think, Stan. If that's all you wanted to talk to me about then.... Need to grow..." You heard your fiance's familiar voice.

You heard footsteps closing in towards the door, so you quickly headed into the bathroom to hide.

You couldn't hear from the music down the hallway echoing in the small tiled bathroom, so waited several minutes before leaving and heading back into the loungeroom. You found Emily sitting where you were previously, and walked up to her, offering a drink... Though she already had one by then. She accepted it regardless.

"Yes, fine. Actually, could we leave soon?" She asked.

"Alright, let's go." The two of you headed out the door and left for home.
