Kylee then turned to Linsey, holding out a second invitation card with barely disguised contempt. “Normally,
someone of your... background wouldn't qualify for an invitation to my birthday banquet. But since you're
Collin’s wife, I suppose | can make an exception out of respect for him.”
From the instant they had met, Linsey had felt the waves of disdain rolling off Kylee in almost tangible waves.
