But Eric came to a halt, catching her gaze across the sea of people.
Their eyes locked, and a bright, boyish grin spread across Eric’s face as he lifted his hand and placed it flat against the glass, tapping softly in an effort to reach her. “Hadley! Hadley!”
Though the glass was crystal clear, not a single sound came through.
She watched his lips move, trying to make out the words.
Heart pounding, Hadley suddenly gathered up her skirt and dashed toward him.
“Hadley’s coming over!”
“Oh my god—she’s so close!”
The fans erupted, buzzing with excitement, as if they might burst through the glass at any moment.
Hadley smiled, her gaze scanning the crowd—until it found Eric. He stood with his palm pressed to the glass, lips moving silently.
Without showing any emotion, she stepped forward and raised her hand, pressing it to the glass.
Their palms aligned perfectly, separated only by the clear wall between them.
Eric’s eyes widened in surprise.
He froze, his brows lifting.
Heat surged into his hand—intense, electric.
A grin spread across his face, wide enough to stretch behind his ears. She felt it. She answered him.
It was like the world held its breath.
Eric stared at her through the glass. His lips parted. “I miss you,” he mouthed.
Hadley tilted her head, unsure of what he said—but she smiled and mouthed back, “I have to go now.”

“She’s so sweet!”
“She’s flawless. Her makeup, her skin—so smooth!”
“That’s the brand she’s endorsing!”
“I’m buying it. Whatever it is—take my money!”
As the crowd exploded in cheers, Eric was slowly pushed aside, watching as Hadley walked farther away. Official source is find[?]ovel.net
“Mr. Scott.” Phillips grabbed his arm. “It’s too packed here. Let’s take another route.”
“Alright.”
With the help of the bodyguards, Eric was ushered out of the crowd. “Mr. Scott, this way, please. It leads straight to the event.” The event was downstairs, on the first floor.
