Chapter 227

Ryan went off to the gates to play spy for me. I just sat in the car, a nervous energy buzzing under my skin. I was praying this wouldn’t all be for nothing.

I checked the flight info. Sally and Yvonne’s plane was due around five. Right on schedule, my phone buzzed with a

stream of videos from Ryan.

In the first video, Jared had a bouquet and a bag of what looked like toys. Even in casual clothes and sunglasses,

straight to Tracy. Tracy just took them.

Yvonne, bubbly and excited, was holding Tracy’s hand. She was clearly thrilled with her trip. Once Jared rounded everyone up, they started talking and walked toward the parking garage. The video ended there.

Ryan sent me another one. Jared and Tracy were talking in some corner by themselves. Neither Sally nor Yvonne was in sight.

Tracy looked upset. She threw herself at Jared, trying to hug him, but he dodged, taking a quick step back. He kept

talking, keeping his distance. A second later, Tracy stormed off, furiously wiping at her eyes. Then that video
