Katrina forced a smile so Simon wouldn't suspect something was wrong. He already seemed to pick up on something going on between her and Randall. Regardless of how much she wanted to drive a knife into Randall's heart, she held back to not ruin the night for Kate. "He is staying with us," she said.
"Wonderful. I want to hear more about where he has traveled to. I have not been to many towns outside of Lockwood you see. Are you a friend of the family or a relative? I'm afraid I have not seen you before?" Simon asked, suspicious of the man standing beside him. He didn't like another guest attending but it was in his fake persona to care to have the man at dinner.
Chapter 1 has been edited with suggestions from a webnovel editor. I miss all of your funny paragraph comments but I hope you enjoy the chapter more now.
