Chapter 20 Emma was completely wasted , so I had no choice but to taking her home . As I half - dragged her out of the bar , my high heels wobbled , and I almost stumbled . " Careful ! " Suddenly , someone caught us both , guiding us into a nearby booth . " Thank you , sorry about that , we'll get out of your way … " I stammered awkwardly . But the person didn't say anything . Once I made sure Emma was settled , I finally looked up . " Elizabeth ? " A familiar voice called out . The man grinned brightly and running a hand through his hair . " I know I had a buzz cut back then , but it's still rude to forget me ! We pulled all - nighters gaming together , remember ? " I stared at him , tracking my brain , until suddenly , it hit me- and I burst out laughing . " Rolin ?! " " Long time no see . " He threw his arm around me and introduced me to his group of friends , who were just as lively as him . One of them raised a glass in my direction , shouting , " Elizabeth ! Rolin's muse , the goddess herself ! " Rolin blushed slightly and gave me a playfully nudged . " That's right ! The muse I'm always going on about - here she is , in the flesh ! " Laughter and cheers erupted around us , and I couldn't help but feel a little self - conscious . Just then , my phone buzzed in my pocket , breaking the moment .
