Suddenly, several of the men who were playing pool started chatting. A familiar name drifted over, clearly audible amid their laughter.
"Do you guys still remember that fat chick from the class next door? I just found out my cousin married her sister. What a small world."
"Who?" one man asked as he lined up his shot.
Another said, "Jane Carlson. You know, the one whose boobs bounced around like crazy whenever we had PE."
"Oh, her."
Then the group laughed knowingly.
"Say what you want, but those boobs were huge. I remember our classes had joint PE lessons back then, and she was always at the back whenever we ran. She had fair skin, but I honestly forgot what her face looked like."
"I remember Lucas even asked her out once outside of school. That dude sure had some heavy tastes to like that kind of woman…"
"And your cousin married her sister? Isn't that fate? You're single now, right, Sean? You should give it a try."
"Forget it, she's so fat. But then again, it's not like it's impossible…" Sean Mullen's voice trailed off, and the men exchanged sleazy grins.
Sebastian clenched his glass tightly. His eyes grew colder by the second as they gleamed with a piercing chill.
He turned around and walked toward the pool table. Each step he took was steady and purposeful.
Everything happened in an instant. First came a shout of shock and agony.
In the lively room, the sound was jarring and sudden. It was eerie and even horrifying.
