like her held no appeal, and Cherise had her own life and responsibilities to prioritize. But the more she
avoided, the brazen Gwenn became, especiallytely.
Cherise closed her eyes and drew a deep breath, knowing the time for settling scores with Gwenn was
coming.
However, the immediate concern was Zachary and Lyra’s wedding. He had gotten injured shielding her,
and she felt obligated to see the arrangements in his absence.
With this thought in mind, they arrived at the New World Restaurant. Damien, everposed, opened
her door and said, “I have friends at SumTimes. Don’t worry, I’ll get them to look into this.”
Cherise finally allowed her grip to rx, a wave of relief washing over her. She knew Gwenn wouldn’t
back down easily, but with Damien on her side, she had nothing to fear.
Together, they walked hand-in-hand into the lively venue.

“Have you already forgotten what I told you? No drinking, remember? Is your liver on a suicide
mission? And your stomach, is it looking forward to retirement?” Lucy’s voice cut through the festive
atmosphere.
She snatched the ss from Heather’s hand, which she had just filled for Lennon, and mmed it on
