Chapter 118: Reception(Part Two)

Skye had jumped to her feet upon seeing Nicolas and Petrie. She grinned ear to ear, excited to see them on her special day. Nicolas wasn't supposed to be there for at least a few days, or so Maevis had thought. Petrie's appearance was even more unusual. He was supposed to have gone back home to his mother and sister.

  None of it mattered as Skye practically ran to her new guests. She was shocked to see Petrie in regular clothes. He looked rather fetching in his button down white shirt, black overcoat, and black slacks. His hair was still parted and pulled back the same as before , but he'd evidently washed and combed it. He fidgeted with his collar, clearly uncomfortable being out of his usual highland garb.
