Chapter 134 The Spotlight

• Britney’s heart raced as she sprinted across the open field, her shoes crunching against the gravel beneath her feet. She anxiously glanced at her wristwatch, calculating how much time she had left until the presentation. It was her birthday, and while she wanted to catch whatever spectacle had everyone’s attention, she couldn’t afford to be late. The event, centered around cancer awareness and depression, meant the world to her. Today, she had the opportunity to speak, to share her mother’s story with an audience. It was her chance to make Brandon proud, even if he wasn’t there to witness it.
• As she neared the crowd, her eyes locked onto something that made her heart skip a beat. There, sitting grandly on the school’s open field, was a helicopter she recognized instantly. The bold lettering along the side read Wings, a name she could never forget. The same brand marked the jet that had whisked her and Brandon away to Greece. Her jaw dropped in disbelief. But when the doors slid open, her surprise turned to shock. Out stepped Ethan Asher and... Brandon.
• Britney froze. Brandon? She blinked, her mind struggling to process what she was seeing. He had left for work so early, hadn't said a word to her. Yet here he was, stepping out of a helicopter with Ethan Asher like this was some kind of movie.
