Chapter 47 : When I’m with Him

Rory’s POV

As Scott and I made our rounds, people’s expressions changed. He was so handsome in his Armani suit, his hair back from his face, and his smile all for me.

The tension faded away and I could tell people were starting to change their opinion just because Scott was by my side. It didn’t make much sense to me, but I would remember the voices and faces of those who’d scorned me because of Nicola's earlier antics.

I wouldn’t say anything to Scott. He was a smart man. He could gauge the feel of a room faster than anyone I knew. His intelligence was one of the main characteristics that drew me to him.

“You make such a lovely couple,” one of the women who’d whispered behind her hand about me earlier said with a beaming smile. She wasn’t talking to me. Her eyes were all for Scott as she reached out a hand to clasp his.

“Thank you,” he said graciously.

I simply smiled at her; my eyes filled with glaciers. I had nothing to say to someone who changed their opinion so easily.
