Sharon noticed Theo seated beside Victoria, chatting and laughing with her.

Her thoughts drifted-until a sweet, delicate voice suddenly rang out at her side.

The tone brimmed with delight and surprise. “Carter, Theo, you came to watch me compete?”

The preliminary rounds were divided into groups. Since everyone had gathered to watch Sharon’s performance, no one had paid attention to which group Kelly belonged to.

She didn’t seem to mind. Smiling brightly, she said, “I just finished my round and saw you and your dad.”

Her tone was airy and cheerful. “Theo, how about I treat you to something cold and sweet afterward?”
