Molly snapped back to reality. “Sure. Lysander, you go ahead and chat. I’ll go with your dad… I mean,- Mr. Thorne.”

Josiah’s voice carried a hint of coldness. “Don’t mind them. Lysanne is their only daughter, and they’ve spoiled her rotten. Whatever they say, just tutn a deaf ear to it. If they ask you out, call me, and I’ll handle it.”

“No need,” Lysander said. “I’m leaving the country soon, so I won’t be in contact with them.”
