"Eat something now." I ate something. He was right in forty minutes. He usually was. Dinner was not a working meal. Dante had arranged it as something closer to the ordinary estate dinners that had been happening for months. Long table. The twelve Alphas alongside the estate's residents. Not mixed formally. Mixed the way people mix when they find themselves hungry in the same room. Hessa sat next to Alpha Fen. I did not know how that happened. But by the time I arrived at the table Hessa was explaining something to Fen about the specific quality of neutral zone living and Fen was listening with the focused attention she brought to governance information.

Brianna got back to the estate around nine. The house was quiet. Too quiet. She walked through the foyer, past the empty living room, toward the stairs. All she wanted was a shower and sleep. "Dinner's at eight tomorrow." She turned. Declan stood in the doorway of his study, glass of whiskey in hand. "What?" "Family dinner. Tomorrow night. Eloise will be there. Dawson will be there. I expect you there too." Brianna's stomach tightened. "Is this mandatory?"

“Ain’t that the truth. So what do you say? Come visit me. There’s coffee.” “We’ll see, babe. I’m feeling a b-b-b-bit blah.” “Fair enough,” Aiden said. “Up for tonight still?” “What’s happening t-tonight again?” “Danny, I’ve told you, like, five times. It’s the department dinner. Partners are invited. The Minister’s in town. A bit of western food for your tummy.” Another one of those beats, emptiness that was full of something neither one of them wanted to acknowledge. Like the psychologist’s pronunciation of Danny’s name: a quiet agenda. “There’s free drinks.”

she replied calmly. Daniel walked in and blinked in surprise. The dining table was set beautifully—silverware gleamed, wine glasses sparkled, and the dishes were arranged with care. Roasted chicken with herbs sat at the center, surrounded by bowls of colorful vegetables and rice. A bottle of wine stood uncorked beside two glasses. “This looks… nice,” he said, a bit wary but touched. Lena stood near the table, wiping her hands on a folded cloth. She wore a soft green dress, her hair tied neatly, her expression unreadable. “I thought we should have a proper dinner tonight. It’s been a while.”

Since Kelvin didn't particularly give me details about the dinner, I kept it simple, sweeping my hair up in an elegant updo while my makeup was light, bright red lips to finish off the look. I glanced at the wall clock for a quick time check and noticed it was past 8pm. I should probably head downstairs to help out. Hitching my dress up, I wore a pair of flip flops and went down the hallway, stopping at the stairs. To my surprise, the dining space had a couple of remodels, with special chairs being brought in.

#LORENZO’s... MANSION# It was night and the time was exactly... 7: 06 pm. Tinsley, Lorenzo, and Tems were having dinner together at the dining table. All throughout the dinner, Tinsley was the only one not eating her meal as she stared blankly at the dining table, obviously deeply lost in her world. “Hey, why are you not eating?” Lorenzo asked, his deep voice drifting Tinsely out of her thought.

JOAN’S POV The kiss never happened. At least, that’s what I kept telling myself over and over again. I had to.
