“Lauren? Are you okay?”

Pulling my eyes from Colt and the blonde, I turned to face Grace “Yep I’m fine Why?”

Glancing at , I looked back to Colt an

d the blonde “He drives me crazy”

Grace chuckled “Why? Because a hot girl is attracted to him? Poor Colt can’t help it if he is ato flock”

Rolling my eyes, I looked away “He sure looks like he is interested in her”

Grace sucked in a deep breath and let it out “You knohat I see, Lauren?”
