“Little brother,” the cop said, grinning.
“You didn’t tell me this was tonight.”
Jax laughed.
“Wanted it to be a surprise.”
The cop turned to Cassie.
“You must be the guest of honor.”
Cassie couldn’t breathe.
The officer looked at the principal.
“These are my friends. They’re here to make sure this young lady has the night she deserves. You got a problem with that?”
The principal opened his mouth.

Shook his head.
The officer nodded.
“Good. Now let’s get her inside.”
Jax held out his arm.
Cassie took it.

For the first time in her life, Cassie didn’t feel invisible.
