"Georgia decided she didn't want to walk with us. She wanted to walk with Derek, and Kyle then agreed that he would rather walk with Phoebe," I told him.

My head dropped in shame. I never wanted to walk with Ken, but Mum had insisted. She knew I'd hate walking alone.

"My mum insisted I walk with one of the best men and I got stuck with Ken," I explained. "I didn't want to walk alone."

My hands, previously on his cheeks, had dropped to my sides and were wringing together nervously as I spoke. I'd taken a step back and when I finished talking, he filled the gap.

"I'm so sorry," he apologised. "If I'd have known, I would have offered."

"I know," I replied. "It's not your fault."

"It kinda is," he sighed.

He paused. I waited.

"I was the mystery date," he announced.

My heart stopped. I stopped breathing. I felt lost. My mystery date. It was Ashton! But he'd ran. He'd left. He knew what was happening and he still didn't want me.
