Lucas ultimately did not throw away the invitation, and he did not object to Marion attending Alice’s birthday party as long as he accompanied her that evening.

Marion had no objections to that, especially considering Alice’s unsettling attitude towards her.

Lucas was silent for a moment before saying, “I’ll come back early this afternoon.”
