Ruin the moment (2)
Priscilla would have rather stayed home if she knew Rose and Edmund were going to be present. She thought about leaving for a moment, but quickly decided against it. Her leaving would only make Rose think that she could chase her away. Priscilla would never run away from Rose or Edmund. Not in the new shoes she just received as a gift.
"Fight outside as much as you wish but do not bring it inside. I swear if any of you ruin this night for Alessandra and I am left to deal with it, no one would be celebrating another birthday," said Edgar.
"You are aware that the night your wife is enjoying is my birthday? Alright," Edmund held his hands up when Edgar glared at him. "I'm happy this day is making someone else happy. I'd like a word with you before I go inside. It will be short and not annoy you. Wouldn't you rather I speak with you now before you let me walk into your home."
