scene.

Henry, who had seemed quite taken with Theresa just moments ago, was now deep in conversation with a young woman.

Or rather, the young woman was doing most of the talking, and Henry was listening with full attention, nodding along and clearly engaged.

Theresa had been pushed to the sidelines. She tried to chime in several times but couldn't get a word in edgewise.

The woman stood with her back to them-tall, poised, and graceful, her ponytail sleek and perfectly in place.

Richard instinctively quieted his steps.
