Making her way slowly back to the bar, now unmasked the same as everyone else, Valerie veered from Mira's side and headed straight to Jasper's. Another drink was ordered, this time another bottle of water, and she leaned back against the bar timidly, suddenly realizing Jasper had, in fact, joined Lukas and Cameron.
"It's damn cold out. I really should have turned up the heat at the apartment before I left." She mused to Jasper, ever quiet, her eyes passing over Cameron. "I'm stopping to get some coffee, or hot chocolate, or something on the way home if you want to come?"
Tonight her attitude had hit the off switch. Confrontations with either boy were avoided, and not rudely so. At least he was having a good birthday.
