Pearce took a drag of his cigarette, his face partially obscured by the smoke as he raised his eyebrows in surprise. “He wants to invite me to a meal?” he repeated.

Elyse was caught off guard. She hadn’t expected Pearce to accept so quickly. Her mouth fell open, and she was momentarily lost for words. Finally, with some reluctance, she agreed. She silently hoped that Jayden wouldn’t be too hostile towards Pearce.
