Silver’s POV
I stared at Shirly as she continued to dazzle the room. Everybody practically fell to her feet from her charm, and I felt physically ill. Her eyes found Gavin’s and she smiled adoringly as she made her way over to us, Elliot on her heel.
“Gavin, it’s lovely to see you again,” Shirly said, kissing each of his cheeks before her eyes found mine. “Is this your girlfriend?”
Elliot’s features darkened at her question, and I couldn’t bring myself to look away from him. Shirly was standing so close to him like they were one unit. My heart was thrumming violently in my chest.
My eyes burned with unshed tears.
Gavin laughed.
“No, Shirly. You have the wrong idea,” he said, waving his hands dismissively. “Do you really think I would end up with someone like her?”
