"It's alright, really. I know that he has this family, I know how close they are, I just wish that I could be a part of it and we didn't have to hide." She clears her throat. "But there's plenty to keep me busy. I know that." "You two aren't hiding anything very well." Her mother smirks. "I think Anne-Renee is perfectly aware of how Rene feels for you." "Don't be silly." "His eyes haven't left you all night. I'd be surprised if he wasn't pacing out there since hecan't see you now." Mom laughs. Celine shakes her head, but it's a nice image. That Rene is so interested that it can't be hidden. That their love is so powerful that nothing can cover it up, even if they try. She bites her lip and shakes her head. "We should start pouring this." It takes multiple trips, but Celine doesn't mind. Each time, she notices how Rene looks ather, and when she is able to look past him, she sees Mia and Eddy smirking. Mia winks at Celineand follows her back to the kitchen, saying she's going to help with he last round. Mia nudges Celine. "Rene is going crazy out there." "I'm sure he's tired. We all are now." Celine brushes it off, determined to keep it a secret even though she wants to shout her "I love you" from the top of a mountain so the whole world knows that she wants Rene. "He's antsy and distracted every time you leave the room. It's like there's an anchor holding him down. It's almost funny."
