Everyone was chatting about Edwin, their voices easing into casual tones, purposefully skirting around the recent incident.

“Let’s change the subject,” Hannah said, turning to her friend.

“How’s life been since you married Brayden? Are you getting used to it?”

“Don’t even mention it.

Lydia let out an exasperated sigh and playfully punched Brayden’s shoulder.

“We had a good time the first few months.

“Who knows if he’s been hitting the bars like he used to before we tied the knot.

Brayden, his ear gently pulled, looked slightly put out.

“I’ve been buried with work, “ he defended himself.

“The Davies-Mitchell collaboration has been my focus, but lately, things with the Mitchell family…”

He trailed off as he suddenly realized the precariousness of his topic choice.
