Chapter 214: CHAPTER 214 Hidden Away

　　When I got to the closet I was fighting tears, my eyes welling and blurring as I searched through the drawers for sweats, a bralette, and a tank top, because I felt warm, but I really needed to be comfortable.

　　When I finally got the whole dress off and hung up, then stepped back to look at it, I had to bite my lip to stop myself from crying, because in my mind I heard Cazz growling in my ear about how he was going to mess me properly tonight when the Selection was done.
