It's New Year's break, and my husband insists on dragging me to a class reunion.
By the time we arrive at the hotel, most of our former classmates are already there.
They all seem to be doing well for themselves - driving Mercedes and BMWs, while I'm in a domestic economy car.
From quite a distance, I can hear someone loudly gossiping.
"I just don't get it. Cort used to be the hottest guy on campus. How did he end up marrying that ugly duckling Becca?"

"Little Brent, it's only been a year and you've already become the big shot Brent, huh?"


Hearing me call him by name so casually, Cecilia's face immediately turned Cadillac anger, pointing at me and cursing loudly.


But she overlooked one crucial piece of information.


How would I, seen by everyone as just a nightclub hostess, know the name of this "Brent" he mentioned?


Before I could speak, Brent ran up to me with a serious expression and gave a standard salute.


"Becca, what are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be with the Elder..."
