"Madam Landry, your son and his date have arrived," Doug announced, stepping aside for us to enter.

Donna Landry wore one of her gorgeous gowns and her jet-black hair was curled around her features, crowning her heart-shaped face. She was a gorgeous woman and you'd never be able to tell she had children who were in their 30s. She was also an intimidating woman, and I can tell she never smiled... except for when she was with Daisy. I've seen her smiling with Daisy.

"Gavin, I'm so glad you could come to dinner," she said, motioning for the small couch across from the loveseat she was sitting in. Her slender leg was crossed over the other and she had a cup of tea in her perfectly manicured hands.

Gavin motioned for me to sit on the couch, releasing his hold on me, though he seemed hesitant to do so. I went to the couch and lowered myself into it, trying not to notice how Donna's gaze followed my every movement.

"Mother," Gavin greeted as he went to his, pressing a gentle kiss to her cheek. She presented her cheek to him as if it was the most natural thing in the world before she leaned back in her seat, watching as he took his seat beside me.

"I'm glad you could join us too, Judy," Donna said, her eyes never leaving mine.

My cheeks flushed and I had to force a small smile.

"Thank you for the invitation," I told her. "I'm a little surprised honestly."

She raised her perfectly trimmed brows as she studied me; maybe I shouldn't have said that. I mentally bit my tongue.

"I'm sure you are," she replied coolly. "We didn't exactly get off on the best start and I'd like to apologize for that.”

I nodded.

"Thank you," I told her, glancing briefly at Gavin who appeared tense in his spot, his eyes never leaving his mother's face.
