Lucas‘ grandmother Alicia Moore’s face lit up with a kind smile. “Oh! Lynn is here! Come sit by me!” she said, beckoning her over.

Lynn glanced at Lucas.

Lucas patted her head. “Go ahead,” he said.

“Okay,” Lynn replied, feeling a wave of panic.

She sat down, then greeted Lucas‘ parents.

His mother, Petra Moore, smiled and nodded at her, seeming quite pleased with Lynn.

His father, Robert Moore, however, showed no expression.

The last time they’d seen Lynn was when she had come here, headstrong and adamant about calling off the engagement.

Today, Lynn looked gentler and more elegant. She was dressed in a tasteful pale green dress with her hair half–up, every inch the refined young lady. She was nothing like the girl who’d once said she’d rather die than marry Lucas.

And Lucas was even more surprising. He was unusually attentive to Lynn now. It was a stark contrast to his calm detachment when she’d tried to break things off.

Lucas‘ eyes stayed on Lynn, even though she was sitting right next to him.

On his other side were her father, Gordon, and her mother, Betty Murphy.

Gordon frowned slightly. “I’m afraid my daughter has been a handful for you,” he said to Lucas.

Lucas reached over and took Lynn’s hand, which was resting in her lap. He looked at her, then at Gordon. “Mr. Murphy, that’s not true at all. I’m happy to do it.”

Lynn looked at their joined hands, then up at him.

He didn’t have the guts to do that this morning on the mountain, but now he’s holding my hand in front of everyone?

Her hand went stiff.

Lucas rubbed the back of her hand with his thumb, feeling her tension and the cold sweat on her palm.

As Lynn chatted with Alicia, Lucas kept asking her what she wanted to eat.

Her heart was in her throat. Lucas is way too good at this act.

She’d just eaten before they came, so she wasn’t hungry. Lucas knew that, so he just put a few of her favorite things on her plate, careful not to give her too much.

When Alicia and Calvin moved to another table to chat with other guests, Lynn finally relaxed and pulled her hand from Lucas‘.

Betty came over, moving past Lucas to sit beside Lynn. “How could you be late on such an important day?” she asked, sounding displeased.

Lynn, already feeling on edge, felt a surge of hurt. She was late, but it wasn’t on purpose. She’d thought Lucas would wake her up earlier, but he’d slept ever later than she had.

Hearing Betty, Lucas leaned in. He put an arm around her waist, his chest almost resting against her back.

He said. “Mrs. Murphy, that’s not Lynn’s fault. She didn’t get much sleep last night, so she slept in today

Lynn glanced sideways at him. “Didn’t get much sleep last night?? Isn’t that just asking for people to get the wrong idea?

Betty was speechless. Lucas was actually defending her.

Last time. Lucas had just watched coldly as Lynn called off the engagement. In just a month or two, his attitude toward her seemed to have changed a lot.

A few people walking by overheard and started whispering.

Lynn’s face instantly turned bright red.

Lucas looked down at her. The hand on her waist gave a slight, comforting rub–or maybe it was more of a

tease.

Lynn forced a smile. He’s got some experience with this, doesn’t he?

After a bit more small talk, Lucas was called away by some guys to go drinking.

“Hey!” Lynn called softly, instinctively reaching out and grabbing his wrist.

Lucas looked at his wrist. Lynn quickly let go.

“Don’t… don’t drink too much.” she said. If you get drunk, we won’t be able to leave tonight.

Lucas smiled, “Okay.”

It might have sounded like she was genuinely concerned to everyone else. But only Lucas knew what she was really thinking.

Once Lucas was gone, Lynn finally let out a sigh of relief.

Any longer and I would have cracked. I’m really not a good actress.
