“I don’t know if I’m ready for this,” I admit to Lily, chewing on my fingernail. I pace in front of the door, the screams of people behind it causing my stomach to ache. I shake my head. “Nope. This is way bigger than I intended. How are we going to keep these people at bay?”

Lily stops me, placing her hand on my shoulders. “The police department is already here. They recalled every deputy they could. It’ll be okay. We just have to get everyone in.”

“What about the windows? They can see through them. They’ll take pictures of the cast. Of August.” My chest tightens. I didn’t think it would blow up like this.

She pulls her hand away, her phone vibrating. She takes a quick look at it. “We can’t stop that, Cam. They’re actors. I’m sure they’re used to it.”

I hope so. “How many people do you think are out there?”

Lily’s mouth turns down and she plays with the bracelet on her wrist. “Five hundred. Maybe more.”

That stops my pacing. “What?” I screech. “We only sold two hundred tickets.”

The phone in her hand chirps again and she quickly reads what it says. “It’s pretty normal for fans to flock to a place like this. Somewhere Only We Know has a cult following, Cam, and because August is from here and we aren’t too far from the major city, I’d be surprised if the crowd didn’t grow.”

I groan, my hands feeling clammy.

“It’ll be okay. I’m going to let the press in now and we will open the doors in a few minutes. Take a couple of seconds, go to your office, take a shot of whatever you need to calm down and then come back.”

I scoff at her, rolling my eyes. “Shush.”

She laughs, her hand falling to my arm. “Seriously. Just go take a breather. Hannah, Harold, Joseph, Beau and I have this.”

My eyes fall to Beau on the other side of the hall, his eyebrows downcast in a manner that tells me he’s not happy with how things are going.

Seeing as how our museum is privately owned, not funded by the state, the entire running of the institute is in our hands. The owner came in two days ago, told us not to screw it up and we haven’t seen him since.

Marshall Henderson is a rather widely known recluse in our town of Bradshaw, Georgia. Sixty-two, he’s almost always part of some sort of scandal – and never the good kind. He loves his women and his privacy. One flocks to him while the other mocks him. I’ve worked at the museum for a while now and I only ever see him right before an unveiling. He’s in the headlines, he’s never in the office. I almost guarantee he won’t be here tonight. Though, he should.

I gulp and turn my eyes back to Lily, place my hand on hers. “Okay. I’ll be right back.” I turn but stop. “Oh, can you make sure the valet knows not to open the cast’s doors? Their driver will do that.
