Wynn was speaking with someone, but her smile faded as soon as she spotted Celeste.
ust then, Tr
Just
Trevor appeared, holding an umbrella. He had clearly cto pick Wynn up.
He took off his coat and draped it over Wynn's shoulder.
The people nearby, also waiting out the rain, looked on enviously. Seven gasped in admiration. It was only
then that Trevor noticed Celeste and paused. She looked back at him expressionlessly.
He turned his gaze away, lifted the umbrella again, and left with Wynn.
The wind was picking up, and since he had given his coat to Wynn, even if srain drifted under the umbrella,
she wouldn't get wet with the extra layer shielding her. It was an especially thoughtful gesture on Trevor's part.
Before long, the two of them had disappeared past the entrance.
A little while later, Trevor's driver cover from the parking lot holding an umbrella. He handed it to her and
said, “Mrs. Fleming, Mr. Fleming askedto bring you this.
Celeste didn’t take it. “No need. You can take it back.”
Martha had mentioned before that, for Jordyn’s sake, Trevor had agreed to get along with her.
Last tat the seminar, he had shown concern for her. Now, in front of Wynn, he was having someone bring her
an umbrella again.
If Wynn could so easily allow Trevor to send her an umbrella, she must be confident enough in their relationship
to believe he had no feelings for Celeste. It was just spassing courtesy for Jordyn’s sake.
The driver hesitated. “But...”
Celeste said, “He won't mind. You can go.”
Seeing how firm she was, the driver eventually turned and left with the umbrella. He didn’t cback again.
But the rain still showed no signs of stopping. Celeste checked the time, debating whether to keep waiting or just
brave the rain and leave.
Suddenly, a familiar voice spoke beside her. “Con. I'll give you a ride.”
It was Beck.

Beck started to take off his coat, seemingly Intending to give it to her. Celeste quickly said, “No need. | have a
spare set of clothes in the car. If | get wet, | can change.”
Beck paused, not insisting. But as they walked out together he moved to shield her from the direction of the
wind. Walking down the steps with him, Celeste asked, “Mr. Harper, were you here for the conference too?”
He wasn’t. Beck had heard from Miles that she had been attending for the past few days. Since they hadn't had
much to discuss work-wise recently, he hadn't seen her in wille-and truthfully, he had missed her. So he came.
Noticing her ears were red from the cold, he let out a soft “m” and asked, “Do you have tlater? Want to grab
a meal together?”
He had helped her, and they still had work matters to deal with. Having a meal together didn’t seem like a big
deal.
Celeste replied, “Sure.”
