ADAM

Scarlett’s panicking.

I turn to Braden and, for the first time in all the years we’ve known each other, have to hold myself back from punching him in the face.

“What the fuck is wrong with you?” I growl.

Ava gasps, but I only focus on Braden. This protectiveness is new for me—terrifying, even—but all I know is that I don’t ever want to see that look on Scarlett’s face again. Especially not because of someone I consider family.

“If you’re going to punch him, Adam, please do it somewhere the kids won’t be able to see,” Gracie sighs.

Braden whips his head in her direction. “You’re kidding me, Gray. I don’t deserve to be punched.”

“I would have already knocked your teeth in,” Tyler pipes up.

Braden snorts. “That’s because you have the restraint of a toddler.”

I give my head a shake and ignore them all as I follow after Scarlett. My fingers are still curled at my sides, and this feeling of desperation is nearly suffocating. I’m desperate to get to her and make sure she’s not completely freaking out.

For someone who doesn’t like meeting new people nor social gatherings, I can’t imagine being called out in front of a group of unfamiliar faces in an uncomfortable environment is very settling.

If I wasn’t late, maybe this wouldn’t have even happened, but I try to push that thought away. Scarlett is a big girl, and from what I saw when I arrived, she was handling herself just fine.

Her strength and confidence is what drew me to her in the first place. It’s one of my favourite things about her.

With how demanding my life is, I need someone that can handle themselves but also knows they can lean on me when the pressures of everything gets too much. She’s exactly that.

The bathroom door is locked, so I knock twice. “Scary Spice?”

“Leave me here alone to die of embarrassment.”

I laugh. “Not happening. Can you let me in?”

A huff and then the clicking of the lock. “Say one wrong thing and I’m kicking your ass,” she grumbles.

“No pressure.”

I turn the handle and open the door. She’s leaning against the vanity, her palms flush to the sides. When she turns to look at me, I swallow.

Fuck, she’s stunning.

I only got a good look at the back side of her when I got here, and as fantastic of a backside as it is, it pales in comparison to the front.

There’s black lining her eyes when they meet mine, and it makes the blue in her eyes appear even lighter than usual, like glacier water. The makeup surprises me after seeing her without it every day for the past couple of months, but she looks beautiful. She always does.

Scarlett blinks a few times, long, thick lashes fluttering before a sound of annoyance escapes her. I watch with intrigue as she reaches up and pulls her eyelashes off before doing the same with the other eye and then setting a clump of lashes in the sink.

“My mother made me wear those. They feel like caterpillars on my eyes.
