She looked so much more beautiful compared to my dowdy black hair and secondhand clothes given to me by Emily. Callum wouldn't even bat an eye at me. I was so lost in my thoughts that I missed Callum coming out. I saw them look at each other for a moment, before he quickly embraced her in a hug, spinning her around.
