Chapter 1057

• Alex
• Sam emerged from wherever she'd been not long after Toni came outside, and Alex gave her a hug and kiss before wishing her a happy birthday. Over the next couple of minutes, the rest of the party guests arrived. The first was Kenny. He was quickly followed by Hannah, coming in and hugging Danny before coming and doing the same to the others.
• Dane and Sally were next, the latter following the same routine as Hannah had. The girls of the group then descended into conversation while Danny and Dane went and hung with their dad and Kenny around the grill. Wade joined the group a few minutes later, and after greeting his girlfriend and winking at Alex, he joined the other guys around the grill.
