Chad
“This is so relatable.”
“I felt this in my soul.”
“Who hurt you, king?”
But someone kept tagging him.
@JRXXX: This one's for all the sad clowns out there ??
@JRXXX: When you think you're the main character but you're actually just the punchline ??
@JRXXX: The accuracy is DEVASTATING ??
Every clown emoji was practically drawing arrows.
And then he saw it.
Someone's Instagram story: Jiro on a dance floor. Killian in a VIP booth. Caleb. Liam. April.
Everyone he needed to talk to, all in one place.
Caleb would want an update. Maybe even introduce him around. Killian was probably cooling off by now—ready to laugh about the whole misunderstanding.
And April—She always listened. Five minutes alone with her and he could fix this.
He was in line before he’d finished the thought. The crowd kept looking at his suit. The bouncer took too long checking him over, eyes narrowed. But eventually, he waved Chad through.
Whatever.
Chad straightened his oversized, architectural shoulders and stepped inside like he belonged there.
He had people to see.
