When she broke through the Luna's spell and killed her. We won because of her." My vision blurred with unshed tears. "And sometimes, Matt, it's not even a dream. I could be sitting, reading, or just laughing with friends, and I'm suddenly right back there. Reliving it." He chuckled softly, though the sound held no mirth. "I get that too. Though I imagine it's far worse for you, especially after Edward had you locked up and brainwashed.* I winced, the memories of confinement and mind manipulation threatening to resurface.
Matt, noticing this, reached out to touch my arm. I instinctively flinched away, but not because of him. Because of the memories, "I'm sorry, Nina," he murmured. "I didn't mean to dredge that up." I shook my head. "It's alright." Edward, with his sinister intentions, had tried to break me, and for a while, he had succeeded. "I wonder what happened to him after he got away, I murmured, more to myself than to Matt. "And James, Lisa, and Ronan... But let's not go down that rabbit hole tonight." He nodded, recognizing the dark path that our conversation was heading towards. "I get it. And you're right. This isn't the tor the place."

I knew he was nervous about sharing his news, but the suspense was becoming palpable.
Determined, I followed the sound of clinking glasses to the kitchen, finding Enzo pouring himself another drink. The weight of his pending announcement was evident in the tense line of his shoulders and the distant look in his eyes.
"Hey," I began gently, reaching out to touch his arm, "I've noticed you've been avoiding something." He took a deep breath, running a hand through his tousled hair. "I know, I know. I promised. It's just... I'm worried about how everyone will react." I leaned against the counter, looking into his eyes. "If you don't make your announcement soon, I might just have to do it for you," I threatened playfully.

Enzo sighed, placing his glass down on the counter. "You're right. It's now or never He reached for my hand, entwining our fingers.
Hand in hand, we made our way back to the bustling living room. The om chatter died down a bit as we moved to the center. Enzo took a deep breath and held up his glass, signaling for everyone's attention.
"Hey, everyone. First off, thank you all for being here tonight. means a lot Whe to both of us," he began, his voice steady. "But there's something I need to share..." X
