In 30 minutes, I was ready. I had changed into a casual blue dress that reached an inch above my knees. I matched it with a simple necklace because I felt my neck was so bare. Fred and I planned to go watch a movie. He suggested the idea and I didn't have the face to refuse his invitation, knowing that he only visited me in the house to have someone to kill time with. I told myself there was no meaning to his invitation. We're colleagues, we know each other, we're friends, so why not? I also believed that he knew I was with Alessandro... well, that's one thing I should straighten out with him.
"I'm ready. Shall we?" I asked him as I reached the bottom of the staircase.
Peyton and Duncan had this contemplative look on their faces like seeing Fred with me again gave them flying red flags.
