Chapter 19: Scarlett

Scarlett PLOPPED DOWN in the lawn chair Kasima had saved for her and breathed a sigh. The Friday homecoming parade was one of the things Scarlett liked about all the festivity. She'd organized her night to allow herself to be here for this.

"Why did we booked a high maintenance bride this week?" She groaned.

"Wine cooler?" Kasima offered her a pink beverage.

"Sure." Scarlett glanced around, but she hadn't spotted the guys. They'd been scarce, no doubt doing their best to avoid getting roped into last-minute preparations for tomorrow. They all enjoyed homecoming.

She secretly wondered if Cole would be there. While she didn't have any guilt about drawing the boundary between them, she still wanted the best for him.

"Have all the fun you can tonight and worry about tomorrow later," Ingrid said.
