Nora's POV cont.
Eli, Ed and I drove back to my house in my car. James car was nowhere in sight, which to my mind was a good thing. He wasn't back yet, allowing the plan we had made in the car to be put in place. Based on past experience, James would come waltzing in around four to four-thirty. That gave us an hour to get things set up.
Ed switched out the bottle of scotch for the one he brought with him after ensuring the level of liquid in the bottle was the same as the one he was replacing. James never failed to pour himself a stiff drink and down it before even saying hello to me. With an event to attend he will then head directly upstairs to his bedroom, no doubt to shower and change into one of his finest suits in his effort to keep up appearances with my brothers.
