As they stepped out of their car, guards swiftly surrounded them. Julian moved to grab Astrid's hand, but Mattie swiftly intervened, jumping between them and wrapping her hands around his arm.
"Hey, Babe… thanks for bringing me here," Mattie sang, as she pulled Julian into the clubhouse before he could say more.
Astrid's gaze lingered on Julian, her expression uncertain. She felt sad the way she pulled him inside and he didn't bother looking back.
Then she heard Miles's reassuring voice behind her.
"Hey… I am here," Miles said, his deep tone calming.
A small smile crept onto Astrid's face as she turned to Miles as he led her inside.
Stephan followed closely, his hands tucked into his pockets, his eyes trailing behind them.
He felt a peculiar hole in his chest, hurting him badly.
As they entered, the crowd's attention shifted to them. "See, it's the Logans and Adams," someone shouted, and the group cheered.
