Chapter 4

I set the salad bowl on the table and went to pour drinks for everyone. I noticed Mr. Raynor was watching his son and me, and was that a smirk he was trying to hide? Chance didn’t say anything, just helped set the rest of the food on the table and sat down with the rest of us. I could feel his eyes on me, though.

I spent the meal chatting with the senior Raynors. They would be going on a cruise for a month, starting the next day, and were very excited. The cruise would take them to Europe and the Caribbean. Chance, on the other hand, wasn’t saying much. I didn’t know what to do about that, so I left him to his own devices.

After helping Mrs. Raynor clean up, Chance disappeared, and his dad asked me to follow him to the study. Before doing so, I hugged Mrs. Raynor and kissed her cheek after thanking her for dinner and wishing her a fun cruise.
