"We have an unwanted guest. What is new?" Edgar asked as it was normal for them to always have someone not invited just show up.
"Maybe one of our friends decided to come," Alessandra said, hoping it was a friend and not someone who would bring drama to tonight. She was looking forward to sitting down and eating with everyone.
Alessandra stood by the window and let Edgar handle it. She watched Edgar exit the front door to speak with the guard.
"Alessandra, I have something to tell you," Alfred said as he walked to be by Alessandra's side. He had a feeling who was at the gates.
"Yes?" Alessandra replied, feeling a bit anxious since Alfred looked like he was about to deliver bad news.
"Edmund asked if he could spend his birthday with you and Edgar. He wants to start over and spend time with the two of you. Make up for all the trouble he caused Edgar. I told him to come and try," said Alfred.
