"Why?'' he raises a brow at my question. The suspicion is obvious in his eyes. He is wondering why I want to do this. I don't even have the answer to his question.

"You asked him to stay. I thought I'd use this opportunity to welcome him to the family.'' I smile nervously, hoping he doesn't catch me in my lie. They are all going to the neighboring community today. I asked Gyles to join me tonight at the gathering. I still don't know if it is a good idea but I want him to come with me.
