Chapter 14

• CLAIRE LEBLANC
• After bombarding Alexis with question after question about Mrs. Blanchard, he brought me back home, promising to talk to her and arrange a dinner or even a tea party. I got nervous when he mentioned it out of the blue, but at the same time? I got excited! After all, who in the fashion industry wouldn't want to work with or even gain suggestions from Angelina Blanchard? That made me happy enough to deal with what had happened with George at that ball – because even when I think I'll be happy for a long time, he proves me wrong, even in thought.
• "Overthinking again?" Those golden eyes stared at me, almost as if they could guess where my thoughts were now. "I thought you were happy with the suggestion I gave about Mrs. Blanchard."
