Why did I decide to wear heels? I hate heels.

Sadly, though, flats would look dumb with the black dress I chose for the evening, compliments of Indigo’s closest. Indigo having no idea I took it, of course.

It’s a tight, strapless number that barely reaches my thighs and shows off way more cleavage than it seems to cover. Maybe it’s too much, but Brandis said I needed to dress to impress. I wouldn’t be surprised if I showed up and girls were wearing nothing but lingerie.

Since my phone was close to dead once I got back to my dorm room after dinner, I’d told my friends to head to the party without me. I’d catch up.

Now, I’m regretting those words.

I’m slowly and painfully making my way down the sidewalk toward the royals’ house, hugging my arms over my chest to fight off the lingering chill in the fall air. It’s not too late. I can still make up some excuse and just not show up.

But then I picture Brandis’s excited face in my head. Even though she has Tasha and Payton to keep her company, I can’t just abandon her. For starters, I’d never hear the end of it. I also promised we would go, and I hate breaking promises because my mom was notorious for going back on her word. So, I trudge on, wobbling in my too-high heels, cursing myself, the Royals, and even Indigo for her cute dress that looked like shit with my chunky boots or tennis shoes.

When headlights light me up from behind, panic bursts through me. It’s almost instinctual. A defense mechanism all girls have that tells them every stranger wants to harm them and headlights at night are always one of those red flags.

I glance over my shoulder and spot a slick black SUV making its way down the road toward me. Hoping it just passes on by, I’m sorely disappointed when the car comes to a stop right next to me.

As my mind starts to whirl through the worst-case scenarios, the window rolls down.

“I’d make a comment, but then you might post me on TikTok again,” a familiar voice teases, and relief washes over me in cooling waves when I see Ezra’s tan face in the open window.

Man, I must be really freaked out if I’m thinking Ezra parking next to me is a positive thing. “If it’s a street walker comment, you can shove it.”

He looks me up and down and then waggles his eyebrows. “But, Gracelyn, this is a street. And you are walking.”

“Ezra Beau Covington,” a feminine voice drawls out from the speaker, and I almost lose my footing because it startles me so much. “You tell her sorry right now!”

He rolls his eyes as he flicks his finger over the volume button on his steering wheel. “Sorry, Gracelyn.” He pauses for a second, then shoots the center console a glare and says, “Happy, Grace?”

Ahh, his sister. Moving a little closer to the car, I husk out, “Thank you, Grace. For the bedding.
