She turned around the corner to leave the man alone with his bottle of beer and surrounded by other party-goers, making her way to the patio doors to get a breath of fresh air and to hide from Xander fucking Shadmore. If she had simply been attending this party as a guest, she would've left the moment she saw him. But no. Of course she had to be working this party. And of course she had to act professional and not do everything her mind was telling her to do. She wanted to scream, she wanted to break things, she wanted to destroy the ground beneath her and curl up in the rubble alone. Oh, how she despised seeing his face.<br/><br/>Aurora caught eyes with Chase for only a moment before noticing her friend Jolie was with him, talking to him. Oh, how she wished she could simply walk over and make conversation and spend time with her friend, but here and now was not the time or the place. She needed to find cover, so to speak. If Chase had already left the kitchen, then there was a chance that Xander had also left the kitchen.<br/><br/>Dark eyes sought out Cole, given his height, hoping to spot him and Xander away from her and preoccupied, but as she turned the corner to make a beeline to the patio doors, she bumped right into Xander. Literally. He was waiting for her, standing right in her path like he knew her every move. "Oh, I-" she began, beginning an apology for bumping into him before he cut her off to speak. Her eyes watched him as he spoke, her brows twitching slightly as she struggled to control her micro-expressions in this moment. He was pressing her on her past, not allowing her to simply deny her given name, despite her making it clear that she was Aurora.<br/><br/>"Kasey, huh? Is that her name? The one that got away? A shame, darlin'. You should really look her up or something," she replied with a sweet smile as she moved past him, continuing on her path out onto the patio. She very much needed some air in this moment, despite how calm she would seem to others at the party. She could feel the pressure in her chest, the weight of her heart, and the tension in her back as she tried to keep herself calm.<br/><br/>"Excuse me. I think I might need a smoke break," she lied, having not a single cigarette on her. Kasey didn't smoke and neither did Aurora. It was a nasty habit she had never gotten into and didn't intend to. She simply needed an excuse to step outside and get some fresh air and get away from<strong>him</strong>. She didn't hesitate for another moment, grabbing hold of the patio door and sliding it open before stepping outside. She turned to close it behind her, hoping he wouldn't be following behind her.
