Right then, Wesley suggested, “You young people don’t spend much time together. How about this? Samson and Amanda stay over tonight. The weather should be nice tomorrow. We can go horseback riding together. Sounds good?”

He suddenly asked us to stay over and even lined up riding plans for tomorrow. I blanked for a second, a little thrown off. This was supposed to be a short act. How did it suddenly extend?

I snuck a glance at Samson beside me, wanting to see how he’d react.

Before I could say anything, he turned to me first. His eyes held enough warmth as he asked softly, “Do you want to go?”

With that simple question, he put the decision in my hands. It gave me a smooth way out while keeping up the look of a loving couple.

I quietly relaxed, pressed down the nervousness in my chest, and smiled. “Sure, Wesley! Horseback riding sounds fun. I haven’t moved around much lately.”

Wesley didn’t insist and waved it off easily. “Thats fine. Samson, why don’t you come to the study and play a few rounds with me?”

Samson agreed steadily. “Sure.”

Watching them walk off together toward the study made my skin crawl. I turned away and walked out of the villa. The night air was cool, but it didn’t help the heavy feeling in my chest. I pulled out a cigarette and lit it.

Smoke drifted upward in thin rings, making the night feel even lonelier. Leaning against a pillar at the entrance, I stared into the dark yard and replayed the dinner in my head.
