Helanie:
That night was so hard for me to get through. I couldn't sleep well as I kept waking up at intervals. And when I eventually did fall asleep, I woke up to loud cheering outside.
It took me a minute to remember that today was the celebratory lunch. The academy students had received invitations, but they knew this day was only for Lord McQuoid's close family friends.
So, I guess they felt out of place coming here. I told Lamar he didn't have to come here either for me. I wanted to get out of the mansion and meet him and Gavin at Benita's Café.
But before I could do that, I realized I would have to pass through those who were very angry with me at the moment.
I wore a red floral dress with long sleeves and red boots, rushing out of my room when I spotted the brothers walking toward the exit together.
It was all four of them.
But Emmet was the only one who stepped up to stop me. "You're headed somewhere?"
