Sensing her gaze, Lester turned his head with a soft smile and pulled her in with an easy arm around her shoulders.
"Well, since everyone's here, let's all grab a seat."
Everyone nodded and began to settle at the table.
Sylvia quietly walked past Rupert, feeling all too aware of every step.
When it came time to sit, she hesitated, unsure where it was appropriate for her. Lester was now head of the family-his status basically equal to Rupert's-and the seats beside him were usually reserved for immediate family or elders.
She and Lester were only dating; it didn't feel right to take one of those spots.
As she wavered, an older relative who'd come along with Scott pointed to the empty seat next to Lester.
"Ms. Lloyd, you take this spot. I'm a bit on the hefty side-if I scoot down, I can snag a couple extra inches for myself." He patted his belly and grinned, his eyes crinkling warmly.
Sylvia hurriedly protested, "Oh, please, you should have it."
Lester gave her hand a tug, still smiling. "It's fine, sit here. My uncle's got doctor's orders-no wine, no cigars, and if he sits here, he'll be sneaking drinks all night."
The uncle chuckled. "You know me too well."
He promptly blocked Sylvia's way and plopped himself down on the far end, leaving the seat by Lester open.
