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.

The competition was scheduled for next weekend.

Normally, Celeste was free on weekends. Besides, when a child participated in a competition, that was considered a big deal in any family. As a parent, it’d only be natural to prioritize the child.

In the past, Celeste would have done just that–put Jordyn first. Everything else would’ve had to take a backseat. But now…
