Chapter 35: Olivia

Olivia Smoak didn’t blame the other group of authors for not joining their little cluster. Her table was more than just a little on the rowdy side, especially with Patrick’s new friend, Ginger, helping to keep things…boisterous. Even the friend of the new friend had abandoned the party for quieter surroundings. Ginger’s friend had asked Ginger to join her, but the tall blonde was having too much fun with Patrick, the cover model—Olivia’s cover model. Olivia knew Patrick basked in entertaining people, knew he was the center of every party. She was even the one who shoved him into the role he was currently playing. She just didn’t expect him to fall into it so eagerly.

“Hey, I’ve got a great idea,” the tipsy Ginger stated, slapping both hands down onto the table. “Let’s hit the night life on St. George Street. It has to be livelier than this place after what we saw today.”
