After doing a quick sweep of the banquet room and the balcony to make sure no one looks particularly suspicious, I start down one of the hallways. If someone was here looking for Raya, chances are they saw her leave and left themselves. But who knows? It's worth a shot.
I catch sight of a very familiar ass swaying right in front of me, and my heart starts fluttering wildly. FLUTTERING. I can feel it in my throat, and I have to clear it to make sure there isn't actually something lodged in there.
Rory turns and rolls her eyes. "Are you actually following me now?"
"No, but I can if you want me to," I say suavely—or at least I think I do. All the while my heart is apparently trying to exit this body of mine and maybe just leap right into her hands. I can't be sure.
