Chapter 203 Chapter 203 Maddox Et 50 vouchers When we walked into the elegant restaurant , I thought I was going to sit right next to Harper , but Anna still had her arm hooked around her and they ended up sitting on one side of the table while I sat next to my uncle .

There was a change in her that had begun to take place and I still couldn't find the exact word to describe it .

I wished to hold that beautiful gaze a little bit longer , but it was cut short when Anna called out Harper's name to catch her attention . " Hmm ? " Harper looked over at her . Leaning towards Harper while holding the menu , she said , " What do you think you want from here ? " ~ Harper huffed . " Honestly , I'm undecided because there's so much to choose from ." I already had something in mind , so I chimed in . " Why don't you try something with mushrooms ? " Anna scoffed . " Nope . Harper has always hated mushrooms . Isn't that right ?

" She glanced over at Harper , expecting a positive response , but Harper hesitated . " Well , " Harper finally said . " The truth is that I tried mushrooms because of my boyfriend and they're actually not bad . I was so impressed that I've been having them ever since . " Anna raised her eyebrows with surprise as she leaned back . " I guess I missed out on that part ." I smirked with satisfaction at that small victory . Having Harper admit that she now enjoyed mushrooms because of me made me go ahead and suggest the exact meal she should have and she accepted without a second thought .

" Every meal you've ever suggested that I try out has turned out to be delicious ," she said to me with a nod of approval . That's good and all , " Anna said , sounding a little frustrated , " but I don't know what to go for . I can't even pronounce half of the names on this menu . What the hell is this ? " " Need help ? " Uncle Sebastian asked gently . She glanced at him , then back at the menu . " I'm good . " " Do you need help ? " he asked her again . She sighed in defeat , looking to the side like she couldn't make eye contact as she said , " Yeah .

" Harper and I shared a knowing look as we subtly smiled at each other as Uncle Sebastian leaned across the table so he could explain what was on the menu to Anna . Anna could've easily asked Harper to help since she was right next to her , but she wanted it to come from my uncle .

" 55 Vouchers He should've looked at me as he said that , but he looked straight at Anna like he needed her to know that he'd come back .

" I nodded in agreement , my gaze flicking towards my girl . " Yup . I still have some things I need to do with a special someone . Babe , there's something that I actually need to show you when we're done here . It's- " " That's not going to work , " Anna interrupted me . " Harper and I have already made plans .

I'm going to meet Ella and Zoey after this , then we meet Aunt Patricia before going to mom's grave with some fresh flowers .

" And after all that , we're meeting Grayson ." " You are ? " My head tilted . " Yup . " Anna nodded while looking at her knuckles after forming her hand into a fist . " I've been dying to see him .

It's going to be unforgettable ." I could tell by the way she was talking that it wasn't going to be any friendly meeting and I had no problem with that .

" The universe was listening and granted you your wish .

The way you spoke about her just a few days ago was filled with so much longing that I'm glad she's back . Looks like Maddox Aldridge knows how to keep a secret . " I nodded in agreement like he could see me . " He really does ." " I've never spoken to him , only ever read about him in books , online and when his name pops up on the news , but he sounds like he's such a good guy who just wants to see you happy ." My face lit up . I still couldn't believe Anna was back in my life because Maddox and his uncle had kept her safe . I didn't even know how I was ever going to thank him for that .

It meant the world to me . Snapping me back to reality , my father said , " I didn't know you were a fan of The Midnight Echo . " " You make it sound like you don't approve of them ," I said , stopping in the hallway and leaning against the wall . " I don't . Their music sounds like noise . " I playfully rolled my eyes .

" The important thing is that you had a great time .

I'm going to do it in the grandest way possible . " " And what's that ? " As he went on to tell me about it , Anna walked past me to use the ladies ' room .

I was still on the phone with my father , so she just mouthed to me to wait for her there because she would only take a minute . I nodded once , still trying to process what my father had just said . " Wait , do you really think that's the best way to do it ? " I asked . " Why not ? I've thought about other ways , but this is what I want for you ." " I don't know . " I hesitated . " There'll be so many different faces and I just ... I don't know . " " Among all those new faces , I'll be there , so will Dean and Trina . You're getting along just fine as far as I know .

" I rolled my eyes , telling myself not to get into detail about that . " I'm still going to feel like an outsider , " I admitted . " If it's going to make you feel better , why don't you come with Maddox and Anna ? " My lips curved into a smile . " Really ? " " The last thing I want is for you to be uncomfortable during that first introduction . If having them by your side will put you at ease , then that's alright . " I placed a hand on my chest with so much relief . " Thanks . That already makes a huge difference .

" I was still thanking him when I heard other voices in the background , something to do with some documents . ' I'll call you back so we can discuss the details , " he said , already sounding distracted . As soon as the call came to an end , I received a text from Maddox , asking how long I'd be gone because it was time for us to leave the restaurant . There were no sweet words in that text and yet I couldn't stop blushing to myself . I wanted to go back to him as soon as possible . Even though Anna had told me to wait for her , the minutes went by and I began to wonder how long she'd take .

I didn't want to just leave without giving it a chance , so I sent her a text , but she didn't even read it . I called her instead , but she didn't pick up . While I wasn't about to start checking each bathroom stall inside just to find her , I thought I could just walk inside and look around .
