HAPPINESS

After that awkward and slightly uncomfortable encounter with Patricia, the rest of the luncheon goes on smoothly and withouta hitch. A couple of people, who I was introduced to as friends of the family or Jason's mum's business associates couldn't hide their surprise that Jason actually brought a date. One particular lady in a Queen of England hat, Jenny Porter, was quite chatty. 

Apparently, she has known Jason for quite a long time and seemed to frequent a number of events hosted by the Blunts. Well, she said that Jason has never really taken interest in women, at least, he hasn't found them interesting enough to bring them to family functions. That would explain the surprised looks we got once we entered. She went on and on for what felt like hours till her husband cut in and said he wanted to introduce her to someone.
