Maddy released her final volunteer from her mental grasp, and he stumbled back to his seat, looking dazed. She smiled and dipped into a curtsy as the crowd applauded. (And how she managed that feat in a tight dress and 4-inch heels was a secret she'd never reveal.) Their audience stood and started to trickle out, and Maddy sighed with relief.
She slipped out the flap at the back of their tent, grabbing her water bottle on her way out from where she'd stashed it earlier. The night air felt cool on her skin, and she sank onto an overturned crate. She heard the sound of rustling canvas, but figured it was just Issac joining her, so she didn't stir. Whatever he had planned could wait just a moment while she caught her breath.
