During the time of supper, Madeline chose to sit next to her sister Beth and away from Calhoun as a precautionary measure. Having experience with Calhoun's hand sneaking up on her leg, on her thigh, she doubted she would be able to sit still without turning red with embarrassment. Not to mention, her family and his relatives were seated at the table.
And even though Calhoun had not touched her, Madeline couldn't stop her thoughts that were running in her mind.
"Lady Madeline, you changed your seat," said Lady Lucy loud enough for everyone to hear it, who were at the table. Madeline was holding the cutlery in her hand when Lady Lucy spoke. She wished the kind vampiress wouldn't have mentioned it loud because everyone could see her sitting not next to the King but between her mother and her sister Beth.
All the vampires, including Calhoun's eyes, fell on Madeline.
