"Miss Harper, you're here, too." Gracie's tone was light and cheerful, as if she had never been rejected by Brenna this morning. "This club's amazing. Ethan just boughta one-year premium VIP membership. Did you get one? You really should. The facilities and services here are remarkable!" She went on and on about everything the club had to offer.

Brenna walked onto the tennis court and immediately noticed Gracie talking to Waldo. Waldo's lecherous gaze kept drifting toward Gracie's chest, his intentions blatantly obvious. Even Brenna felt a surge of anger just watching. Shaking her head, Brenna turned to Ethan, her voice thick with irritation. "That's who you're partnering with? Just look at him.
