Penny stood right behind Damien, her head looking down often without meeting any guest's eyes while Damien spoke to a few of the guests. Talking and using his words sarcastically where Penny was sure that the guests smiled because they had no other come back to give.
"Mr. Quinn, you should come to visit our farmhouse. Father only got it renovated two weeks ago. Should I plan for it?" asked one of the women who had flocked around them or to be specific around him.
"Why not. We can have the next tea party there," humored Damien, "What do you think?" he asked looking around to hear a murmur of approval.
A man who stood next to the woman who had spoken about her farmhouse asked Damien, "Mr. Quinn, I heard your last expedition was a success. How did it go?"
"It must have gone well, of course," spoke another woman full of praise for the young master Quinn.
