bRowena /bpaused for a second, but answered honestly, “Yeah, he said his name is Sean Lecter. You saved him, band /bhe came to thank you,”

    As she spoke, she nced at Winifred’s face. Seeing her calm expression, Rowena asked carefully, “So… what’s your rtionship with him?”

    “Nothing, really, I just happened to save him, and his family already bgave /bme money as thanks. If hees by again, just tell him not to waste his time.” Winifred replied btly/b.

    Amber put her hands on her hips and huffed, “You’re the one forgetting about me! ire, ever since you got a boyfriend, you’ve stopped hanging out with me.”

    ire thought about how she’d been all lovey–dovey with her boyfriendtely and realized she really had been neglecting Amber

    She gave an awkward smile and threw her arm around Amber. “Amber, I know I messed up. I know! Why don’t we go get some barbecue tonight?”

    Amber shook her head. “Nah, I’m going home.

    ire looked confused. “Every single day after ss, you go straight home. Your sister isn’t due yet, is she? I mean, there’s bstill /blike four months to go, rightb?/b”

    The window rolled down–it was Hudson.

    Amber kept her face nk, looked away, and stepped to the side.

    Hudson bsaid/b, “No need to wait. Your chauffeur got a t tire and can’t make it Hop bin/b. I’ll take you home. I’m heading over to see your sister anyway.”

    bAmber /bshot back coldly. No, thanks! I’ll get a cab

    Hudson tapped his fingers on the steering wheel, giving her a half–smile. “Amber, what are y

    so afraid of? I’m not gonna eat you.” you so

    “Afraid? Me? What’s there, to be afraid of? I just don’t like you, get it?” Amber huffed, full of annoyance.

    Amber let out a cold snort, her face full of disdain.

    “Hey!” Hudson was getting annoyed, gripping the steering wheel tighter. Not a single word out of this girl’s mouth was ever what he

    wanted to hear.

    Just as the two were bickering, a group of people surrounded a guy and cheered him on. The boy, blushing furiously, held out a bouquet of roses and confessed his feelings. “Amberb, /bI like you. Will you be my girlfriend?”

    Amber froze for a second, still trying to process what was happening, when suddenly, the guy got sent flying by a bkick/bb. /b

    “Hudson, what the hell are you bdoing/b? How can you just hit him? Are you insane?” Amber yelled,pletely freaked out.

    Hudson flung open bthe /bcar door, grabbed several thick wads of cash–probably over thirty grand–and threw them right at the guy’s head. “Get lost!”

    Then, without another word, he grabbed Amber’s hand and shoved her into the car.

    Amber panicked, pounding on the window. “Hudson! You psycho, what do you think you’re doing? Let me out! I don’t want to go with you!”

    Hudson quickly got in, locked the doors.
