So the extra PDA worked on more than simply Laney's friends, it seemed. That was reassuring.
"Richard takes very good care of her," Lissy added. "She said so."
Did she really? Richard couldn't help but wonder if it was part of the act to convince her sister their marriage was real because the girl had initially (correctly) been convinced that he didn't love her or if she actually meant it.
It was possible that it was both. Laney did seem very appreciative of the things he did while simultaneously knowing that it was all being done with a purpose and wasn't indicative of sentiment.
"I'm glad she thinks so anyway," he said lightly. "Annabelle, do you mind if I get a picture of you and Lissy together before we go?"
"Not at all! But you did take video so you can't post it anywhere since I'm still working on my routine. I don't mind if you post the picture because that won't give anything away."
