Hadley clenched her hands, an unshakable resentment rising inside her toward the man who had shattered Elissa’s world.

That evening, Eric arrived at the dance studio earlier than usual. He had come to pick Hadley up for their return to Silver Villas. They were attending a banquet that night, and she needed to change.
