The table was soon filled with various delicacies that Cherise had never seen.

Mr. Kolson, who was at the side, looked at the time. “He’s late. He’ll reach in a minute.”

Cherise acknowledged it and didn’t overthink it. She looked down and continued eating.

She knew Blake was arriving soon but never thought he wouldn’t be alone.
