AUDRINA

“That’s your bedroom?” Winnie gaped almost comically as I moved the screen around the room.

“Wait till you see the bathroom!”’ I squealed. I showed her the huge free-standing tub, the glassed-in shower, and the gilded gold mirror over the sink. I wrinkled my nose as I inspected it more closely. “I think that’s actual gold.”

“Gabriel Dalca is the richest, sexiest man alive.” Winnie sighed as she fanned herself. “So… Where’s his bedroom?”

“Stop it.” I went back and flopped onto the bed.

“No, I’m serious—where is it?”

I peered at my sister, suddenly serious. “Next door.”

She waggled her eyebrows. “You know I’m not the kind to say I told you so—”

“Yes, you are—”

“But when you finally give it up to that hot man, I am absolutely going to say—”

“Stop it. Winnie, please.” I sighed. I was nervous enough without her antagonizing me. “What’s going on over there?”

“Oh my goodness, a lot. Mrs. Finn went to Whole Foods. I think she spent, like, a thousand dollars. And the security guards are here—don’t worry, none of them are hot, and none of them are looking at me. Two of them are chicks.” She rolled her eyes. “Vivian and Eva have been hiding in their rooms, fine by me. But then a delivery truck showed up and guess what?”

“What?”

Winnie’s eyes sparkled. “They had a brand-new bed for me, a new dresser, a new lamp, all this cool stuff! And then Mrs. Finn gave me a Dalca Enterprises black American Express card, and she told me to buy a new comforter, sheets, stuff for my room and whatever else I wanted online. She even said she would take me to the mall tomorrow to buy new clothes and go to Sephora. And she’s making lasagna for dinner. I’m pretty sure I’m dead and this is heaven, except you’re not here, and we all know you’re a better person than me, so that doesn’t make sense…”

Winnie babbled on for several more minutes, gushing over Mrs. Finn and the slew of house cleaners who’d already started whipping Hawthorne Hall back into shape.

My heart lifted, and my eyes filled with tears. I’d never seen my sister so happy.

“So everything is good here.” She grinned at me. “I can’t wait until you can come back and see the house—it already looks so much better. But back to you. What are you doing tonight?”

“Um, I think I’m going to a cocktail party.” My cheeks heated; I was already nervous about meeting Gabriel’s family and going out in public with him.

“Wow. That sounds so sophisticated.” Winnie’s eyeballs almost popped out of her head. “Can you please have a glass of champagne? For me?”

“You know what? Maybe I will.” I’d never had a sip of alcohol in my life, but tonight might be the night. “I should get going.” My stomach twisted with nerves—about what would happen that evening, about being away from Winnie. “Are you sure you’re all right?”

“Oh my God, Audrina, I am awesome. This is awesome. Are you kidding me? It’s like a freaking fairytale!”

I nodded.
