Two days later, they finally met Kate.
She hadn’t calone—her husband was with her.
When Melvin laid eyes on him, his brows furrowed slightly. He was clearly unhappy but didn’t say anything.

“I see,” Kate said, her tone gentle and proper, as if she had practiced it. “That's good to hear.”
“We'll be heading back after dinner,” Melvin said, his voice as distant as his gaze. “Is there anything else you
