Lauren smiled, and Cass caught the spark of hope in her eyes before it withered and died.“No, but I am hungry.”
“I’ll take you to dinner,” Harrison said from the end of the hall.“Sariah and Robbie decided to just go grab something from the street trucks on the beach tonight.”He met Cass’s eye, pure concern in his.
“I’m sorry,” she whispered.“I didn’t mean to cause a scene and make the evening a mess.”
“I’d love to go to dinner,” Lauren said with grace and elegance.She joined Harrison at the end of the hall and linked her arm through his.She smiled at Cass and said, “We’ll bring Cass back her favorite, and then you two can have a little picnic in the living room.”She smiled, tugged on Harrison’s arm, and they left.
Cass continued into her bedroom and closed the door about the same time the front door snicked shut.Then she crumpled to the floor, her knees to her chest, and sobbed.
Why didn’t she deserve to be happy too?
