Chapter 0308 Nan was back in the hotel suite when I returnedter in the evening .


    She was dressed in a pretty ck dress that rested just above her knees and showed off her cleavage from the low cut cor .


    Her short hair was pulled out of her face , and she had a lightyer of makeup on her face .


    Nan was the kind of girl who didnt need to wear a lot of makeup .


    She was more beautiful naturally , and she knew this .


    She was staring at herself in the mirror , a frown on her lips as she studied herself .


    She was examining the dress that I had never seen her wear before and the matching shoes that made her look tall and a bit ufortable .


    They were squeezing at her feet , cutting off her cirction .


    I frowned and furrowed my brows .


    New dress ? I asked , shutting the door behind me .


    Nan spun around to face me , her cheeks pink Oh , hi … she breathed .


    I didnt hear you walk in .


    She then nced down at her dress and her cheeks grew even redder .


    Tyler got me this dress for tonight .


    I told him I didnt have anything to wear for a concert , so he had this sent to the room .


    Hes getting you clothes now ? I asked , raising my eyebrows at her .


    She shrugged and nibbled on her lower lip .


    Its not like that , she argued quickly , her walls rising around her , protecting her .


    Im going to return them after .


    When I didnt say anything , tears filled her eyes , making my heart crack and my resolve fade .


    Im not here to chastise you , I told her , sighing .


    I wanted to apologize for what I said earlier .


    She shook her head .


    No , you were right , she told me .


    Im being awful .


    I shouldnt be hanging out with Tyler like this but hes a good distraction , Judy , and I need a distraction .


    Im still so upset about the Chester thing and Im not really sure how to react .


    Im not nning on being with Tyler after we return home .


    But for right now … I need the distraction .


    I nodded and stepped towards her , wrapping her in my arms and hugging her tightly .


    I get it , I told her softly .


    Im sorry I made you feel wrong about that .


    You are an a decisions .


    You know you better than anyone .


    adult and can make your own She smiled through her tears as we pulled away .


    I wiped a stray tear off her cheek with the back of my hand and we both chuckled softly .


    I didnt like fighting with Nan , but when we did , we usually made up quickly .


    Have fun tonight , I told her , nudging her arm .


    Are you going to dinner with the otherpetitors ? Nanasked , watching as I rummaged through the closet for something to wear .


    Nope , I told her with a grin , turning to look at her .


    I have other ns .


    Nan threw her head back andughed .


    She talked to me for while longer as I got dressed , preparing for my evening with Gavin By the time I was finished , Nan had len decency toe to the room and pick her up himself .


    I sco my head , reminding myself that it wasnt my ce to get volved to meet up with Tyler .


    He didnt even have the led at the thought but then quickly brushed it out of  Once I was done getting dressed , I grabbed my purse and hurried out of the room .


    Gavins suite was only a couple of doors down .


    As I approached his door , I took several deep breaths .


    Meeting like this was risky , anyone could walk by and see me going into his room .


    I knocked on the door lightly , but when there was no response , I knocked harder .


    There was still no response .


    Pressing my ear to the door , I tried to get a sign that he was even there .


    I heard nothing I scowled and nced at the time ; it was just after 7.


    He told me to meet him in his room tonight , so I assumed he meant around dinnertime where everyone else would be busy .


    I probably should have confirmed the exact time with him though I sighed and rummaged through my purse ; I wasnt nning on going to dinner tonight .


    I was too nervous about thepetition tomorrow and I just wanted to get into bed and spend a little time with Gavin .


    I knew I still had a copy of his room key from when I made that mistake at the front desk .


    Once I found the key , I let myself into his I shut the door behind me and put the key back into my purse .


    I slipped the purse off my shoulder and ced it on the kitchen counter .


    I walked around the room , taking in the scent of Gavin that surrounded me .


    It wasforting , and it seemed to put both my wolf and me and ease .


    I found my anxieties starting to melt away .


    I stared at the neatly made bed , ideas surfacing in my head wanted to surprise Gavin when he arrived .


    I wanted to be prepared for him .
