Smiling, Thalassa turned to Alaric, "Of course, we consider you a friend. Aren't you busy right now? Wait until we get the barbecue ready, then come over." "But..." Hertha started to protest.

"Let's go, let's start getting the stuff we need." Thalassa interrupted Hertha, pulling her towards her house.

Once inside, shutting the door behind them cut off Alaric's prying eyes.

Hertha, in a fluster, said, "Thalassa, why did you invite Alaric over? How can we have him over for dinner at our place?"

"Trust me, I know how to keep a secret. The more you push Alaric away, the more suspicious he'll get. Didn't you see him almost catching on just now?" Thalassa explained.

Blinking, Hertha calmed down and thought about it. True, Alaric had already sensed something was off and hadn't started digging yet. If they aroused his suspicions further, and he started investigating, the consequences could be dire.
