Chapter 86 She Belongs With Me

Barrie and Marshall exchanged confused looks before Barrie teased, “What’s the deal with those two tonight? Off to the bathroom before we’ve even had a drink?”

“I know, right?” Marshall echoed, his voice tinged with amusement.

Barrie’s laughter filled the air.

Instead of the bathroom, Denver was discreetly heading backstage, eager for a moment with Hadley.

“Denver.”

Suddenly, a familiar voice halted him.

“Eric?”

Turning, Denver felt an unexpected surge of nervousness.

“Seems like you’re lost?” Eric gave a knowing smile and drape an arm around Denver’s shoulders. “You’ve been here so many times, yet you still can’t find the bathroom?”

With a gentle tug, he steered Denver in a new direction. “Let’s go. I’ll show you the way.”

“Uh… sure.”

Without other options, Denver allowed himself to be led, and they both entered the bathroom together.

They stood next to each other, attending to their own needs in silence.

“Denver.”

Eric broke the silence unexpectedly.

“Hmm?” Startled, Denver turned to him. “Yes, Eric? What’s up?”

“I know you were trying to find Hadley backstage,” Eric said without turning, his eyes straight ahead. “She’s not here tonight, though.”

Hearing this, Denver felt a shock pulse through him, his heart momentarily racing.

Eric continued to face forward, knowing well the impact of his words on Denver’s expression.

“You…” Denver swallowed hard. “How do you know that?”

Eric didn’t reply.

Turning to face Denver directly, he said with firm intent, “Denver, hear me out–stop chasing Hadley. You two are not a good match. Just let her go.”

Denver’s body tensed. “Why should I?”

“Because…”

The look in Eric’s eyes grew intense–a signal only another man could truly understand. It was the clear look of a predator, issuing a territorial warning to a rival stepping into his domain.

With deliberate clarity, Eric said, “She belongs with me.”
