“You ready for tonight?” Caelan’s voice pulled me from my spiraling thoughts. Daisy’s birthday party. I nodded. The Crawford Manor blazed with light when we arrived. Luxury cars lined the circular drive. Inside, crystal chandeliers cast golden light over the guests who mingled with champagne flutes and practiced smiles. ‘Sabelate!” Daisy’s delighted shriek cut through…
