The two women were in the middle of their heated argument when they suddenly heard a soft whooshing sound. They both turned their heads simultaneously, only to discover that Vogue had completely vanished from between them.
He had used Shadow Step to quietly slip away while they were distracted, disappearing into the darkness without a trace.
Claire's face flushed with embarrassment and frustration. "See! You chased him away with your aggressive behavior!" she accused, pointing at Gloria.
"No! YOU did!" Gloria shot back immediately, her own face showing annoyance. "If you hadn't grabbed him so possessively, he wouldn't have felt uncomfortable!"
"My possessiveness? What about YOUR nosiness, kissing him in public like that?!" Claire's voice went up another octave.
Their argument continued escalating, but Vogue was already long gone, making his way through the empty streets toward his apartment with a sense of relief at having escaped that particular situation.
