To his surprise, the dinner turned out much better than he had anticipated. The three women he had imagined to be formidable and intimidating were nothing of the sort. Although he possessed the memories of the original Lucien and was familiar with them, meeting them face-to-face was a different experience altogether. Initially, he had felt a tinge of fear, but it quickly dissipated as his worries proved unfounded.
