Lily Good riddance. That should have been my sentiments over Courtney quitting Frost Industries. Instead, I was stewing over the whole thing, questioning what was truly between Adrian and me. With good reason, though. Somehow, I knew that whatever she'd made this out to be, wasn't the whole story— and she'd find a way to drag Adrian along. Manipulative witch! I sighed at Adrian's awe-filled expression he'd had when the briefing ended. He'd closed the distance between us right after, seemingly wanting to explain. But there shouldn't have been a need to explain anything. Right? "So about your offer," Derby's voice cut through my spiralling thoughts, snapping me back to the conversation I should have been paying attention to. I was being a bad friend and resident of Radiant Springs. "
