PIETRA

Josh spun around, the light from his flashlight temporarily blinding me.

— Pietra, you scared me.

“I can say the same thing,” I said, suddenly nervous. Not twenty minutes ago, I was snuggled in bed, trying to forget the way Josh smiled at me when I told him how much I love Heinlein's books. I was asleep, imagining what it would be like to kiss his soft lips… but then I realized I didn't have my book with me. Did I leave it in the trailer when I ran away from Josh, or did I leave it somewhere outside on the way to my tent?

Damn it. That was the only book I brought to read. Without it, I would have to resort to talking to people. And, between Ruth's gross and disgusting thinking, Frances' inattentiveness, and Max's general weirdness, I wasn't too keen on that idea.

I sighed and sat down to pull on my socks and boots. I was wide awake now, and the thought of the book soaking in a puddle outside was more than I could bear. It was just like I'd told Josh: my books were precious,

    The group was in the limousine again, in the same positions as before. Evans wasn't there, having returned to his apartment first, in one of the cars he kept in New York. All you had to do was make a phone call to have a vehicle at your disposal.Lora was quiet, thinking about what those people were assuming about her and Evans.- "No need to feel guilty, Lora" Will looked at the redhead with empathy in his eyes.- "Of course she needs to feel guilty. Evans never loses control" Mariah argued.Lora thought about ignoring the comment, just as she was ignoring everything else. The way Mariah carried herself was unnecessary for her. It was just like Lana, except for some approach privileges.- "You'd love to have the same power over him, sweetie" Mack muttered, knowing closely the feelings his sister had for Banks.- "Look at me, Mack. Do you really think I have no power over Evans?" the words were addressed to her brother, but Mariah was looking at Lora.Mariah Donovan was a model known

    - "Don't even try to escape, Banks. We're going to a club when the parade is over, whether you're accompanied or not"Will was sociable. He liked to go out, enjoy his life and push the limits whenever he could. He was easy and accessible to everyone, always smiling and showing his best side. On the other hand, his friend did not have any of the aforementioned characteristics.They were several feet away from the walkway, for two reasons. Evans didn't want to find Lora, having decided she was a part of the past. And then he didn't like crowds. Not that people were stupid enough to treat Evans Donovan like part of the crowd.Will thought for a moment about asking about Lora. But if she'd learned anything about Evans, and she certainly had, it was that he wasn't the type to call the next day. And if the redhead wasn't his companion anymore, that meant he'd won the trophy and crossed the finish line without ever having to look back.- "See, Mack is here" Will tilted the glass of whiskey h

    While her father and friend had a pleasant conversation at the table, Lora kept her attention on the table by the windows. She wanted to, but couldn't help but look at that man. He was handsome in an intense way, the kind that made people uncomfortable around him. The blonde who accompanied him was also pretty, but next to him, she'd only served as a background.- "Why is Mr. Donovan here?" Drake asked at some point in the conversation.- "He has business in all branches, maybe that's why. Or maybe he's just Miss Donovan's escort"Lora knew the second option was unfeasible. Evans wasn't the type to accompany someone. He needed, necessarily, to be the number one person. However, she did not want to discuss this issue.Lora looked at Evans, wishing she could go back in time, but content with the sight of him taking a sip from her bubbly glass. He didn't seem involved in the conversation around him, though everyone was clearly intent on capturing his attention.- "Is he always at these e

    - "Please tell me it wasn't a disaster!" Drake asked, leaning closer to Lora as they walked.- "You were great" she assured, speaking low so as not to capture the attention of the people around her.They were entering the building's restaurant, where all of the evening's guests would enjoy a delightful dinner. Lora, Jean and Drake walked through the large room until they reached the table with their names titled.- "Let's greet Mr. Banks" Jean communicated as she walked towards the table where Evans was seated, along with his companion and a couple of acquaintances.The issue behind the way everyone idolized Evans was a curious one. Lora didn't understand why he was so applauded. Maybe for the money, or power, but she wasn't sure. The only thing he knew was that the world served as a rug for the Banks name.As they approached the round table, Evans could see the redhead. She walked elegantly in the red dress, but she looked uncomfortable outside of her surroundings.Evans was seated ne
