In Jordyn’s world, there was no room for her, Trevor, and Wynn to coexist.

She had asked Celeste to go to her competition without the intention of inviting Wynn, which made it clear that she understood the reality of the situation.

On a day that mattered to her, Jordyn chose her. But Celeste didn’t feel much joy about that.
