CHAPTER 55

• Ava couldn't shake the feeling of restlessness that had settled in her chest as she watched Andrew mingling with the media. She knew she needed to talk to him, to find out what was really going on. She made her way through the crowd, her heart pounding in her chest as she approached him.
• "Andrew," she said, her voice barely audible above the noise of the party. "Can I talk to you for a moment?"
• Andrew turned to her, a smile on his face. "Of course, my love," he said, taking her hand and leading her to a quiet corner of the room.
