Ethan Carter kept it short and sweet. “The Bakers are throwing a party.”
The Bakers and the Carters had always gotten along well.
No reason not to go.
Evan Dale just nodded and headed off to the Baker house.
The party was in full swing.
Olivia Bennett was happily working her way through a generous slice of chocolate cake when, out of nowhere, two people appeared right in front of her.
She looked up, recognized them, and her fork froze midair. Her face went cold.
She honestly hadn’t expected this.
Of all places, she had to run into Lavinia Bennett at the Bakers’ party. Talk about bad luck.
She glanced down at her plate—just one bite of cake left.
Olivia picked up her fork, popped the last piece into her mouth, and was just about to get up and leave.
That’s when Claire Camp stepped forward, dropped her hand on the table with a loud thud, and glared at her. “What’s with the attitude? Didn’t you see us walk over?”
Claire honestly couldn’t believe Olivia had just ignored them so completely.
Just a quick, lazy glance up, then right back to her cake.
Like they weren’t even people.
Olivia stood up without even glancing at Claire and headed for the door.
It was Naomi Barton’s birthday, after all. Olivia didn’t want to start drama and ruin the party for everyone.
