Chapter 161 Audrey
The familiar facade of Claudia's estate came into view, pebbled driveway crunching under the car's tires as Edwin pulled in. The windows glowed with golden-yellow lights, music spilling out into the night air. The driveway was packed with expensive sports cars, elegantly-dressed guests mingling in the windows with glasses of champagne in their hands. Despite the light coating of snow dusting the ground outside, the inside of the house looked warm and inviting.
But I felt cold inside, even in the white fur stole that Edwin had given me to wrap around my shoulders.
I shivered as I looked out the windshield.
"I can't believe we're doing this," I muttered.
Edwin sighed and put the car in park behind a particularly expensive-looking red Miata and turned to me. "We can still turn around if you really want to."
Swallowing hard, I quickly shook my head. "No. I said I would do it, so I will. It's just. I leaned forward to get a better look at the front door, where another couple was making their way inside. There are so many people here."
My mate reached over and gripped my trembling hand, giving it a reassuring squeeze. "You'll have me by your side. If you get nervous, just look at me. Not them."

Ever since Edwin had told me about his plans to attend Fiona's birthday, we had doubled down on my training. We had spent hours upon hours practicing, pushing my limits until I could slip into his mind with
ease.
The sessions had been exhausting, both m**lly and physically, but I knew they were necessary. My skills were still green, but it was much easier now to read a memory-not just to read it, but to live it as if I were there.
"What if I can't do it?" I whispered, voicing my deepest fear. My voice sounded small, even to my own ears. "What if I freeze up when I see her? Or what if she realizes what's happening and shoves me out of her mind?"
Edwin turned to face me, his gray eyes serious. The intensity of his gaze made my breath catch, even in the dim light of the
car.
"That's why we've practiced, Audrey. You're tougher than you know. You can do it."
