Cloris arrived home with company. With her was a boy who had delicate features and a boyish air to him.

Cassandra was stunned by how frankly the boy spoke. Looking at Cloris, she wondered how her younger sister had attracted such a lovely boy.

Rufus thought so too. The food was more than enough for all of them.

Only the "idiot," as Cloris called him, seemed to think otherwise. "Oh no, it's not too much. These would all easily go empty while I'm here."

Everyone took it as a jest.

By the end of the meal, however, they all sat staring at him with wide open eyes. Secretly from under the table, Cassandra touched Cloris's arm to get her attention. Then, she whispered, "Cloris, when he becomes your boyfriend, will he eat us out of the house and home?"
