Lucas didn’t respond to Ginnie. His dark, intense gaze was fixed solely on Sloane.
But Sloane never once looked back at him.
Just then, Larry stepped forward and said, “Sloane, want to team up?”
She lifted her head and looked at him. “Sure,” she replied with a nod.

That one word hit Lucas like a blow to the chest. His heart sank, his brows furrowed, and his fists clenched
slightly at his sides. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but when Sloane still didn’t look his way,
the words stuck in his throat.
Ginnie stood beside Lucas, watching his every reaction. A satisfied glint flashed in her eyes as she smiled
sweetly and said, “Lucas, since Sloane's already teamed up with Mr. Whitney, let's go too. No sense wasting
time.”

Meanwhile, Jill, seeing that Sloane had partnered with Larry, quickly ran over and said, “Then I'm joining you
guys too. Three's perfect!”
Larry smiled. “Sounds good. Let's get started.”
Jill cast a smug glance at the remaining tand raised her voice intentionally. “We're totally winning this!”
Samson stood nearby, scratching his head in frustration. He had originally wanted this gto help ease things
between Lucas and Sloane, but now it seemed he'd only made things worse.
Ginnie noticed and gently tugged at Lucas’s sleeve. “Con, Lucas. Let's not let them get a head start.”
Without a word, Lucas turned and wandered off in the opposite direction, his steps heavy.
The gwas on.
Sloane, Larry, and Jill made a surprisingly effective team, quickly uncovering several of the hidden wine- themed
items.
“Ha! Found another one!” Jill grinned triumphantly as she pulled a fake wine glass from behind a tree.
She glanced admiringly at Larry. “Mr. Whitney, you're really sharp. Where else should we look?”
Larry offered a small smile and scanned the area. With a teasing glint in his eye, he said, “I thought | saw
something shiny under the grapevines over there. Want to check it out?”
Jill's eyes lit up. “Seriously? I'm on it!”
She dashed off toward the grapevines, hunting eagerly.
Once she was out of earshot, Aarry turned to Sloane. His voice softened. “You seem a little off today. Dud
something happen?”

Sloane paused, then dropped her gaze. Her fingers absentmindedly toyed with one of the found objects. “No,”
she murmured.
Larry sighed. He could sense her walls going up again, but he didn’t push. “If you don’t want to talk, | won't
make you. But I'm here if you ever need someone to listen.”
His tone was warm and sincere, his eyes filled with quiet concern.
Sloane nodded slightly. “Thanks.”
They began walking again. Larry glanced at her and said earnestly, “Sloane, you once saved my life. | would give
mine to repay you if it ever cto that. | truly hope we can be real friends someday. Don’t shutout
forever.”
