But lo and behold, without lifting a finger, she had orchestrated shade where there was none-Balfour had actually

Humming a tune, Giselle set about preparing for her gentleman caller.

Over at the Howard Mansion, Dean watched his wife pack her essentials with military precision and followed her

around the house like a shadow. “Where are you off to, darling? Do you want me to drive you?”

The doorbell echoed through Giselle’s house.

Alyssa had intentionally obscured the peephole.

Giselle, giddy with excitement since Balfour had accepted her invitation, hadn’t even considered the possibility that

it might not be him at the door.

Instead, she was met with Alyssa, standing there with an amused smirk.

“Madam? What on earth are you doing here?”

Giselle, defiant against fate, craned her neck to peer behind the elderly woman, hoping to catch a glimpse of

Balfour.
