“Miss S, raise a toast to Mr. Flynn!”
“Raise a toast!”
The crowd at Galant erupted in cheers, their voices bouncing off the walls like a rolling tide. Yet, in the midst
of the excitement, a realization dawned upon them–neither Eric nor Hadley was present.
“Where is Mr. Flynn?”
“Has anyone seen him? I don’t see him anywhere.”

Cody, heir to the Blake Group, had always been a steadfast admirer of S, never hesitating to spend extravagantly on her performances.
Cody was predicted by everyone to be tonight’s biggest winner. It had appeared to be a given.
It was unexpected that Lennon would declare Eric the winner.
Cody had swallowed his displeasure at first, but now, the tide had shifted in his favor.
