The celebration is still going strong. Ivy is somehow crying and dancing at the same time.
June and Lila are arguing over who cried first during the proposal. Tessa keeps insisting she didn't cry at all despite the fact that literally everyone saw her wiping tears from her face.
Aria is laughing so hard she nearly spills her drink.

Then his gaze shifts, toward Lucas and I notice the exact moment his expression changes, like he's thinking, like he's debating something.
A few seconds later he stands.
