Chapter 224

• He begins to introduce me individually to everyone around the table. I take in all their names and say hello to them all when I reach someone I recognise. Max introduces her to me as Francesca and the name clicks in my head. It's Francesca Sutton. She's some kind of influencer on Instagram, I used to follow her before I deleted it off my phone a few months ago, but Poppy still talks about her every once in a while.
• Rhode and I slide into our seats and I just so happen to end up next to Francesca. If I wasn't nervous before I'm definitely more nervous now that I'm sitting next to a literal instagram model. She's quite stunning; perfect long blonde hair and bright blue eyes, her cheek bones are high and prominent and her skin is completely flawless.
• "We've all been so excited to meet you" She squeals as I sit down, giving my arm a gentle squeeze. The woman sitting beside her leans in and nods her head, her hair is a very similar colour to Francesca's except it's much shorter and tucked neatly behind her ears.
