"Umm, Tar, who are these two overly beautiful people?" a voice asked with a note of disbelief. It belonged to Bill, one of Tarrant's long-time friends. Bill was a normal-looking man with a mop of orange hair and plain brown eyes, but he carried the unmistakable aura of someone born into wealth. His gaze lingered on Chase and Artemis—one looking thoroughly uninterested, the other practically glowing with excitement as she tugged the former along.
"Umm... Alice has grown up well?" another chimed in, this one from Kenny. He had slick black hair, matching eyes, and was widely considered the most handsome among their affluent friend group—second only to Tarrant.
