When Taylor arrived, he wondered if it was a bit of a waste to prepare so much food for just a few people. But as soon as he stepped into the dining room, he spotted two teenagers at the table.

Vic and Jeremy had assigned themselves the role of making sure the atmosphere stayed lively.

Laura stood outside, having followed Taylor all the way there, but never managing to find the courage to speak.

On her way, she ran into her mother.

Unable to hold it in, she hurried over, eyes shining. “Mom! Uncle Kelvin invited Yvonne’s teacher over for dinner! It’s Mr. Taylor Johnson, the one I told you about!”

Carol’s expression shifted to shock the moment she heard Taylor’s name. But as soon as she realized he was here for Yvonne, her excitement dimmed.
