Chapter 614

Tina busied herself in the kitchen making breakfast for Ben, Lucy, and Gretchen. She could faintly hear Ben in the basement as he worked out on the exercise machine. She was so glad he was feeling better this morning. He'd had a bit of a rough night even with her and Lucy cuddling up to him.
She was also so grateful for Catherine's father coming to Ben's rescue last night. She had been so frightened when Ben reacted badly to the news of the man's death. Catherine had known what to do and sent her father in to talk to him when he just... froze on them. He wouldn't respond to their voices at all but Mr. McGovern just had to say one word and Ben was back. They'd talked for a long time as the rest of the party went downstairs to run through the ceremony for this afternoon. Catherine assured everyone that her father knew what he was doing as he'd done it before.
Jayden had been so upset he'd mentioned the fight to Ben as he said that seemed to have started everything. They assured him he had nothing to apologize for. They gave Hannah hugs as she felt bad too.
