Angelique was so relieved to hear from Kersen again she almost cried. Well, she did cry, just a little, alone in her room at Jade's. Then she washed her face, put up her hair, put on a bit of mascara and a touch of lip tint, and made her way directly to Jazzmin.

She arrived not very long after Kersen had contacted her, dressed in a pair of wide-legged trousers and a white button-down man's shirt, looking a little less decidedly feminine and a bit more androgynous. Immediately, Angelique made her way to the bar. If Kersen didn't come out to meet her, she thought she was probably going to push her way behind the bar to hug him, she was so relieved to see him alive and well.
