Party (3)

Scarlet sat alone, watching as her three guests looked around the greenhouse. She didn't bring Ian here for his tour, Alana always said she got too tired when exploring the estate because it was too large and Ryan wanted to see what had changed.

The estate had gone from being quiet to having a few guests as of late. All that was missing were her parents, but she would save Ian from the pressure of having to impress her father. 

"They are getting along well," Scarlet noted about Ryan and Ian. Even Alana was enjoying their company. 

Ian had some kind of charm to win over the people whose opinions Scarlet valued.

"Why don't you sit down to eat, Dawson? You don't have to guard me now," Scarlet said.

Dawson took his job quite seriously to be guarding her even when Ryan was around.
