I hug her back like she’s oxygen. For a second the noise fades, the cameras, the whispers, the fear. Just Stella’s perfume and her excited babble in my ear. “I’ve missed you so much! Why haven’t you answered my texts? And this dress—girl, I’m jealous.”
I open my mouth to answer, but my eyes betray me. They slide past her shoulder, searching, desperate.
Julian.
He’s twenty feet away, arm around Valencia’s waist. She’s in ivory silk, flawless, laughing at something he whispers. They look like the perfect couple on a magazine cover.
