Chapter 246: Almost Six Months Ago

Almost Six Months Ago...

Her eyes are on me as I approach. I can't believe my luck that's she's at the table with my best friends. She's sat next to a guy, but I don't even glance his way to assess if he's the competition.

I can't take my eyes off her.

The best bit is the only seat left at the table is the one on her right. I take it. This is the closest we've been over the last week and a bit since I first saw her. Perhaps this will be my opportunity to introduce myself.

Landon grins across the table at me.

"Not a problem, mate. We've been kept well stocked with champagne, so we can't complain."

The waitress takes everyone's orders, and I take the opportunity to introduce myself to the beautiful woman on my left.

"Hi. I'm Jarrod. You must be one of Aurora's friends."
