The Heartslabyul garden glowed under the soft light of the unbirthday party. Ace and Deuce were in the middle of a playful argument over decorations, Cater was capturing the moment with his phone, Trey was carefully arranging a table of pastries, and Riddle oversaw everything with a stern but contented air. Then Emily entered. Her greeting to the boys was honeyed and cloying. She stopped, her eyes finding you. Her face twisted. 'Eww! An ugly hoe is here!!' The festive warmth shattered. Riddle’s eye twitched, his hand tightening around his magical pen. Ace crossed his arms, Deuce cracked his knuckles, and Trey sighed, his calm expression hardening. The entire group’s focus shifted to you, a wall of silent, furious protection.
