Arthur heard the door open down the hall and blinked, watching as Chardonnay slowly came into view. She didn’t look the best and he had half a mind to call off the dinner and convince her to stay the night again. But he knew Susan wouldn’t be happy about that. With the way she looked now, Arthur didn’t know if she’d be willing to join them. Being around her and Susan at the same time was suffocating, too. He barely knew how to act around Chardonnay – and Susan tended to make it worse most of the time. Especially when he didn’t know where he and Chardonnay stood right now. He just wanted to get to know her without his sister breathing down their necks, asking them all these questions and things.
He stood up when Chardonnay came into the room and looked at her. Susan glanced over, too, and smiled, standing up as well.
”Oh yeah! Everything is fine, Chardonnay! We were talking about dinner – oh, did you want to come with us?” She asked. Arthur looked at Chardonnay and took a step closer.
”You don’t have to if you’re busy. Adelaide will be over soon and uh – we’ll tell Adelaide.” Susan seemed to pout at that but Arthur knew Chardonnay and Adelaide had some history that he didn’t really want to force her to sit through. He knew Susan would have to discipline Adelaide, and she wouldn’t like it, and it was just a whole series of events he didn’t want to deal with when Chardonnay was standing right there in front of them. Arthur hooked his thumbs into the pockets of his pants and looked over at Chardonnay. Susan had shuffled over towards the fridge but was most definitely listening in on the conversation – likely hoping Chardonnay agreed to come to dinner. ”Thanks for coming over. We’ll be fine.”
