“And whose friend are you again, his or mine?” Lydia muttered in grievance.
“I’m not really good at cooking,” Bryson interjected as he sat next to Hannah.
“The food might be average.” He carefully placed a piece of beef on her plate.
“Why don’t you have a taste?”
Hannah took a bite, her eyes instantly lighting up.
“It’s delicious”
“That’s a relief,” Bryson said with a gentle smile.
“Have some more.”

They consumed two bottles of wine over dinner. Unfortunately for Edwin, he had a weak tolerance to alcohol, and by the time he finished his third glass, he complained loudly that he was feeling dizzy.
Hannah had no choice but to help him to his feet.
“My cousin is drunk. I should take him home.”
“Hold on,” Bryson said, setting his napkin aside and standing up as well.
“Let me drive you guys home.”
“It’s fine, I can-” Hannah began to refuse his offer, but Grace touched her arm and gave her an innocent little smile.
“Please let my brother drive you. He is free, anyway. Lydia and I will clean up here.”

“I’ll wait for you outside. Take your time.”
Hannah had to haul the dazed Edwin outside.
“You should drink less in the future,” she scolded him softly.
Edwin tried to stand upright, only to flop against her shoulder in the next second. He squinted his eyes, his cheeks flushed as he whined, “It’s not my fault, I’m just… Cousin-in-Law drank three glasses, too, you know…”
Hannah sighed helplessly and shook her head.
Thankfully, she had parked her car just a few feet away.
Bryson was leaning against the driver side door, his coat draped over one arm, striking a dashing figure as the moonlight illuminated him.
