"Con, let's eat before everything gets cold."
Keaton reached out a hand to her. Winona didn't hesitate-she grabbed his wrist and got to her feet.
As they headed to the dining room, Winona said,
"You went public with your thing with Beatrix. Aren't you worried she'll cafter you?"
Keaton grinned, way too confident. "She wouldn't dare."
"See? | told you, being my friend is a win for you. Remember to hypeup when you introduceto your
single friends."
Winona nodded, "Absolutely, no problem."
"Oh, and about Zane-I heard. Don't worry. I've got your back. If he tries anything, I'll make him regret it."
Winona didn't bother with pleasantries. "Thanks. But about us, you should clear things up with Janelle. The more
hope she has, the bigger the letdown. Tell her to set her sights elsewhere-she needs to stop obsessing over me."
"You can tell her Zane broke my heart so bad, I'm done with love forever."
Keaton nodded, "Leave it to me. But seriously, when will you introduceto those friends of yours? I'm back on
the market, ready for romance."

Winona snorted. "You'll need more than a week to bounce back. At your usual breakneck dating pace, you'll
probably break up before you're even out of bed. What's the point?"
Keaton pursed his lips. "You don't get it. Just set it up, you owe me. Throw one of your legendary house parties,
invite all your girlfriends, and I'll pick."
Winona shot him a look. "What, you think you're skind of king holding a royal ball?"
She headed into the dining room and set out lunch-grilled cheese sandwiches and a big bowl of tomato soup.
"Snap out of it, Romeo. Food's ready!"
The Sutton family.
Everyone was gathered in the living room, throwing dirty looks at Beatrix.
Sophus Sutton's face was thunderous as he snapped,
"You gave it your all and still couldn't bag the Mrs. Huber title. That's what you call success?"
Sophie, who used to back her up when they were guests at the Hubers', now scoffed coldly,

Beatrix's older sisters chimed in with their own barbs.
"| said it from the start-this whole thing with the Hubers was a pipe dream sure, Mr Huber's got charm, but their
family's loaded and powerful. He was never going to pick her." s
