Teddy quickly took off.
Meanwhile, Pax was already up on stage, belting out a love song with his unique voice. The whole bar was practically spellbound. But just as he was wrapping up his tune, the place was plunged into darkness. A power outage.

Connor's face tightened, like a storm was brewing. After a moment, he let out a bitter laugh. "Oh, I see. Found someone new and forgot all about your old love, huh?"
Chloe's expression turned icy. "What are you talking about?"
