Worried that Collin might take it the wrong way and lash out, Dustin quickly forced a smile. “Collin, Dolores was just saying how impressive you are," he said, trying to lighten the mood.
Collin didn't react much. His face stayed calm. But Haven didn't look too pleased.

Linsey's heart skipped. She hadn't seen this coming.
She stared at him, frozen with shock, her face blank, her eyes full of confusion.
Her thoughts spun in circles. Hadn't she already said everything at the e banquets What more was left to say? And wasn't he dating Haven? Why stop her from leaving-right in front of her?
