Chapter 257

Charlene and Helena had been keeping Irma company for about half an hour when Thorne suddenly announced, "I'm going to step out for a bit."

During that time, Thorne had mostly been a silent observer, not contributing much to the conversation.

Irma, not particularly impressed, waved him off. "Go if you must."

Thorne left the room, not returning for quite a while.

Earlier, Abbey had made sure there was a good supply of fruit, pastries, and coffee. But after Abbey left, Charlene noticed that Helena's coffee had cooled down. So, she grabbed the small pot and walked over to the coffee table, determined to make a fresh pot. Seeing Charlene take matters into her own hands made Irma think of Thorne. She frowned, "Thorne, honestly. Who knows what he's up to, gone this long."

Charlene hadn't really thought much of it when Thorne said he was stepping out. But hearing Irma's complaints now reminded her that Vesta was still downstairs. Thorne had probably gone to keep Vesta company, not wanting her to feel bored. Still, he'd been gone for a good half-hour, which was quite a long time.

After brewing the coffee, Charlene poured fresh cups for herself, Helena, and Irma. Just as she was setting down the pot, Thorne returned.
