Scarlett and I exchanged glances. We had to tell Vincent about us soon, but I allowed myself to enjoy the night for what it was: a celebration with friends (and a new frenemy) after a hard-earned win. The day had been a mess almost from the start, but I couldn’t deny that this was one of the best nights I’d had in a while. It was normal, Scarlett was with me, and that was all I needed.
