Chapter 213

• Mica
• Tears burned Mica’s eyes as she fled the hall. Her blood rushed in her ears, drowning out any sound that might follow her. The whole hall was probably rioting with laughter at Hayden’s prank. And to think that when he announced he was challenging Monroe, she had been worried for him! All the while, he’d just been planning on making a big joke out of her.
• She couldn’t make herself go back to collect her mother. Ryder was back; he could bring Echo home and then probably lecture Mica for causing a scene and embarrassing them all.
