Scarlett's POV

I only closed my eyes for a second at Sebastian's choice, and

the next second he was on the floor, holding on to Ava's chair with her dangling in the air. I didn't see what knocked Liam Ryan over. I just know the moment he turns to Sebastian, he suddenly stumbles to the side, and the next thing I feel is a hard kick on my chair. This is it.
