There aren’t many people who I genuinely hate with every fiber of my
being — in fact, my list is comprised of only one name: Zane Windsor.
The mere thought of him has my stomach clenching and my veins
filling with an immobilizing dread. Zane Windsor is the bane of my
existence, the person I curse in my sleep. He always has been. When I think
of the most horrible parts of my childhood, it’s his face that floats to the
forefront of my mind. Knowing that I’ll have to see him again in just a few
hours is making me anxious beyond words.
I look up to find my best friend, Lily, staring at me with clear concern in
her blue eyes. She tucks a stray strand of my perfectly curled hair behind
my ear, her gaze filled with understanding. “It’s going to be fine,” she
reassures me. “It’s only a charity gala, and you’ll be able to get so much
valuable networking done. Just focus on that, okay?”
I glance at my bright yellow nails, unable to put that niggling feeling of
impending doom to rest. “It’s the Windsor annual gala,” I murmur, my
voice breaking. “It just feels ominous that the first event I’m attending now
that I’m back is one hosted by Zane’s family.”
I thought that five years away at college had instilled some much
needed confidence in me, only for it to evaporate the moment I stepped foot
back into my childhood home.
Coming home has felt like taking ten steps back, like the girl I used to
be is clawing at me, seeking to be let out of the box I locked her in. I’m
terrified that being around Zane again will turn me back into the version of
myself I despise, the one I’m ashamed of.
“Celeste, you are the strongest and smartest woman I’ve ever met. I
wish you could see yourself through my eyes — perhaps then you’d realize
how silly it is that a guy like Zane affects you so much. He isn’t worth a
second thought.”
I nod, willing myself to believe her, to snap out of the hold the past has
over me. She’s right, of course. Zane shouldn’t have so much power over
me. Not anymore.
“Did I tell you that Grandpa instructed me to analyze every inch of the
Windsor hotel the event is hosted at?” I ask, trying to change the topic.
Talking about Zane just reminds me of the things I keep trying to forget, the
secrets I’ve kept from her. “Do you know what he said to me?”
Lily shakes her head, a questioning look in her eyes as she touches up
the highlighter she applied on my cheekbones.
“The reviews for their hotel have been stellar, but we can’t gather
enough information that way. They invited us, didn’t they? It’d be rude not
to enjoy the hotel’s facilities to their fullest extent,” I repeat, mocking my
grandfather. “Can you believe him?”
A startled laugh escapes Lily’s lips, and I can’t help but smile too. It
takes the sting out of the words that followed, the ones I won’t tell Lily
about.
