Echoes of Unrequited Love (Xaviera and Hogan) novel Chapter 107

Chapter 107 

Gender can help us weed out some of the female fans; then it’s just down to luck with who’s left.” 

No sooner said than done; after lunch, Wallis and I hit the road to the resort’s fan 

meetandgreet

This was my first time crashing a bigtime concept artist’s fan event, and boy, was it buzzing. A bunch of freshfaced kids were clutching FreeMan’s artwork, patiently queuing up

Every now and then, I’d spot a few older faces either too nerdy or just riding the hype train none of them seemed to gel with FreeMan himself

To top off our bad luck, the security at the entrance made it crystal clear that the invite Wallis was holding was only good for one person

Wallis dropped a few choice words, That scalper swore to me it was good for two.” 

After a bit of backandforth, we decided Wallis would go undercover she’d got more chops when it came to sizing people up. And me? I was tasked with stakeout duty outside

If he’s got a peeping tom streak, he might duck out early. Keep an eye on the back door, and hit me up the moment you spot anyone fishy.” 

Wallisstreet smarts cracked me up, but I replied earnestly, You got it, President Lott. Consider it done.” 

So, I grabbed a coffee and parked myself by the back door, ready to wait for the rabbit to hit the 

trap

As time ticked by and the meet was halfway through, I hadn’t spotted any shady characters. Just then, I heard someone say, Move, move, come on, let’s go!” 

Following the commotion, I saw a loaded trolley barreling out of the service elevator not too far from me. In its path stood a toddler, no more than three years old

Without a second thought, I dashed over and scooped up the little munchkin. At the same time, a sharp pain shot through my back, and I saw stars

Watch out!” 

A crisp voice rang in my ear, and contrary to my expectation of getting slammed by the cargo, nothing happened. I cracked my eyes open and looked up to see a young, innocent face beside me, blocking the falling objects from the trolley

There stood a twentysomething lad with grannygray hair, rocking a pair of deep red overear headphones, fair skin, and sparkling eyes that seemed to twinkle with starlight when he glanced my way

Are you okay, Miss?”
