On the other end, when Spencer saw the adorable and youthful girl with bright round eyes in the photo, he felt a gush of heat shooting up his cheeks. She was so charming that his heart raced and blood boiled. Meanwhile, over at backstage, a woman stood not far away, watching Ashlyn and Cassandra until she finally walked over to them when the show was about to begin
