Chapter 57: CALLAN

As if that encounter hadn’t put enough of a damper on the evening, I saw her friend Josh enter the ballroom. He scanned the room and I knew without a doubt who he was looking for. He pulled a face when he saw me but the look was quickly gone.

I wasn’t about to feel threatened by the little fuck so I carried on to the dance floor taking my woman into my arms and holding her close. It was going to be a long night and it had only just begun. I couldn’t very well drag her home like I wanted to, it was she night and she was basically the guest of honor.

For some fucked up reason everyone wanted my attention that night, from the state senator and the mayor to some of the old men and women who’d known my grandpa for years.

Everyone wanted to either congratulate me or commiserate about the old man. I dragged her around the room with me until Robyn and some of the others came and asked her to join them.
