"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.
He watches me. even I don't believe my words. I like to keep to myself. I am not the forward type. The person that would invite someone somewhere. So now, I can understand why he won't believe me "You sound suspicious, why?'' he asks me.
