Elysia felt a knot tighten in her stomach as she thought about what would happen if the press caught wind of this.

Right now, she focused on Zane. He was the one she had chosen, and she wasn’t about to let him slip away.

Over the years, Barry had never seen Zane bring a date to any event.

Well, there was that one time at Tom’s party, but that was different–Tom had a strange rule that everyone needed a partner.

Other than that, Barry had always known Zane to be single.

Barry congratulated himself silently, patting his back in
