Chapter 51

Nellie's voice was cold as ice. "Better to stand your ground than to stir up drama for no reason."

Greta sniffled, "We came today to invite you to my celebration party. I'd love for you to come but won't force you if you're not up for it. I just really wanted to share my happiness with you." Then, Greta handed her an invitation and stumbled away. Cameron stood there, torn between Greta and Nellie, before finally sighing and going after Greta. He always chose Greta.
