Chapter 212
Johnny glanced at Elodie. "Should we head back?"
They’d originally planned to leave early anyway. But then all that had happened, and now they were both just done.
Elodie nodded. "Let’s go."
Before leaving, they went over to say goodbye to Harry.
Harry looked genuinely surprised. "You’re leaving already?"
But he didn’t push. He could tell Elodie wasn’t the type who enjoyed these kinds of events. And honestly? He didn’t want to make her stay if she didn’t want to.
"Let me walk you out," he said.
They nodded, and Harry escorted them to the entrance, exchanging a few words before they left.

Three Days Later – The Cole Cocktail Party.
Harry arrived early that evening. Earlier than most guests. Earlier than he probably needed to.
But he was there. Without Sienna, Dante, Rex, and the others in attendance, the night went smoothly. There was no tension and there was no drama. Just business as usual.
