Elana felt the weight of the dinner date pressing down on her, a knot of anxiety tightening in her stomach. Elise found herself subtly unnerved by Naomi's presence. Julia had a response prepared for Hugo, a carefully considered reply. Tertius, however, harbored no enthusiasm for an introduction to the new family. Louis’ words stirred a disquieting uncertainty within his wife. And Annelize was beginning to envision a new aspiration, a dream slowly taking form.
