CADEN

I don’t even have time to unpack everything that just happened. Me and William have to do this speech, and we have to do it now.

“What the hell?” William whispers to me as we head towards the stage. “Did you know that? Did you know Hailey and Annie had a history together? Because hot damn, that was wild”

I shake my head silently because I really am speechless. Of all the ways I thought that tonight might unfold, I was not thinking that. I honestly don’t know how me and Hailey got to this point without realizing that we both have a connection to Annie. This is insane.

Everyone silently takes a seat and waits for us to start.

Anything of my speech I had committed to memory is long gone. My heart is thundering in my ears, and all I can think about is that fight. That was vicious. Started by Annie, of course, there’s no one else who would behave like that, but Hailey fought back too. She fought hard I could see it in her eyes that she was angry and very upset.

Things are about to become even more challenging for me than they already were. Seriously. My mind might be spinning way out of control here. The fact that I don’t see her worries me. I think she raced off to the bathroom, but maybe not? God, I’ll have to sort this out once the speeches are over and done with. Even though we still have so much to get through…

“Welcome, everyone,” William begins in his booming overly friendly voice which always brings a smile to my face. Not today though. My pinched eyebrows tightly knot together as I try to see not only where Hailey is, but how everyone else is feeling about all of this going so wrong. “We appreciate having you here, as always. So much so that we’ve even added a little bit of drama into the mix. We hope you enjoyed the show.”

Smatterings of laughter fill the room. William is really working it and making this okay. I don’t know how he does it, but he always manages to get people back on his side. Thank God, The tight knot of terror loosens in my chest.

This was supposed to make things better, not a million times worse.

Annie is gone, I remind myself as William speaks, getting everyone interested in the charity and what we’re doing here. She’s left for the night, and Hailey might have gotten rid of her forever. So there might be some good to come of this.

Nothing feels good though. All of this is actually pretty freaking terrifying. Burning hot blood seems to be surging through my body way too quickly. This is not a state of affairs that I want to be in when I have all eyes upon me.

Get it together, my brain warns me, but my thoughts are weirdly disconnected from my body. Get through this and everything else will come together…

“So, I will hand the mic over to Caden now.
