Chapter 1
I thought Searlett wouldn’t be at the class ranion since I’d heard she was doing well abroad for the past three years. If I’d known she was coming. I definitely wouldn’t have shown up.
Wow, Olie! Still such a drama queen, huh? Going to the hospital for a little stomach athe? Scarlett teased.||
“Such a waste of healthcare.”
She still used my old nickname, acting like we were still besties.]
She flicked at the little charm hanging from my car mirror.]
“And Damien, seriously? This car costs a fortune and you’ve got it all prettied up? Are you a real man? ||

Damien just kept his eyes on the road and chuckled. She likes it.
“Ugh, I hate it. Such a sweet ride looking all tacky.“]

“Cold?” Damien caught my eye in the rearview mirror, raising the AC temperature |
Scarlett suddenly grabbed his hand. “Hey! I’m burning up here. If you’re cold, open the window! We’re almost there anyway, just deal with it, okay?”
Their hands stayed together until Damien saw me nod, then he finally pulled away to focus on driving.

Scarlett and I had known each other since we are children. Her dad died in his young age, und her mom worked as our housekeeper.
We’d shared everything – our bed, our dolls, even tampons. We’d stayed up late talking about boys in our classes.]
