Unbothered, Gernard strolled over and patted his brother's shoulder, grinning. "So, what's your plan now? I got a little bored and did some digging on the Quin family. Guess what?

Of course, that only fueled Gernard's enthusiasm. "Hey, don't walk away! I haven't finished my gossip yet!" he called after him, but the conversation came to an abrupt end as they reached the main floor, where the guests were still gathered for the celebration.
