Chapter Seventeen

Rochelle made her way down to the makeup studio set up in one of the many living rooms of the mansion. She was met with surprise as Tommy—at least, that was what his nametag said—one of the makeup artists, clicked his tongue. “Did you get lost in the mansion, honey? I haven’t seen you down here before.”

She should have expected to catch flack for finally going down there. “I’m testing out the ‘appropriate’ look for tonight’s Friendship Ceremony.”

He placed the back of his hand to her forehead. “No fever. Did you take your meds this morning?”

“What meds?” she said irritably, sitting in the chair in front of Tommy’s mirror. She was in no mood for sarcasm.

“The meds that made you think that blouse goes with that skirt. Oh wait, but that’s your style, isn’t it?”

She examined the mirror then, sighing heavily. She kind of had thought the blouse went with the skirt. But Tommy seemed better informed on such things than she was. “I’ll go down to Wardrobe after you’re done with me.”

Tommy raised an elegant brow. “Think you’re getting voted off tonight? Wanting to make a glamorous exit?”

“I think I’m getting voted off at every Friendship Ceremony.” The truth was, this was her new plan of attack. If Grant was repulsed by her ridiculous outfits and appalling makeup, he hadn’t shown it outwardly. Which meant she had just been embarrassing herself instead of pissing him off.

Plus, she’d been thinking a lot about their conversation on their one-on-one date. He’d said he had planned to ask her to marry him. That he had bought the ring and everything. So there had been something between them. She hadn’t imagined the whole thing back then. It was something special, too, even apparently to Grant.

So why did he have to throw it all away?

A deep ache settled in her chest. There was no point in asking “why” anymore. Hadn’t she learned that already? The fact was, he had thrown it all away and so heartlessly that she couldn’t forgive him. Maybe her mind could, especially after the way he delicately handled Ellie’s meltdown last night. But her heart was the problem. Her heart was the true casualty.

Because, God help her, her heart still wanted vengeance.

Since Grant hadn’t voted her off the show, he obviously wanted her there—a fact that had been perplexing her for all these weeks. But after their dinner, after their conversation, she began to realize why he wanted her to stay.

Grant Drake thought there was still a chance between them.

And she decided she was going to let him think that.

“Make me look gorgeous, Tommy,” she said. “I have a bachelor to impress.”
