Chapter 59

• The party was in full swing downstairs but I was still upstairs at our new penthouse because of nerves. I may have been exaggerating when I said full swing since the party was just starting but it started a few minutes ago and the guests were already arriving.
• Lily told me Atticus was already downstairs. It seemed he arrived a few minutes ago but was stuck downstairs talking to a few guests he couldn’t escape. I was already ready but decided to hide out here and wait for him to come get me instead if he would even be able to.
• “I was told you don’t want to come downstairs. Is it possible for a party to happen without the host?” I jumped in surprise at the voice that suddenly came from behind me. I looked into the mirror to see Atticus stroll into our oversized walk-in closet that could pass for another master bedroom.
