Amelia Johnson turned to Sabrina Johnson with a playful grin. “You’re totally right, sis. The
two of us stepping on stage together? Instant win, just from the vibes alone!”
Sabrina almost choked. Was she for real? That i***t actually believed her casual comment?
Unreal. With her in the game, Amelia wouldn’t stand a chance.
Ethan Collins kept glaring at Amelia, convinced she wasn’t being honest. He was sure she

Grace let out another over–the–top sigh. “Sure, he seems all nice to her, but it’s been ages, and
he hasn’t made any move to propose. And yet Amelia keeps sticking around him… Isn’t that
