"I do have to appreciate your skill, Mrs Turner." Gen said, chewing on the steak. "It is incredibly delicious."
"Thank you." Mrs Turner preened under the praise.
"I've always told her that but she never once believes me." Mr. Turner boomed playfully.
"That's because you'll eat anything." Mrs Turner said to him before turning to Gen. "But Ms. Defoe here is an elegant young Miss."
"Oh, thank you." Gen said smiling back while suppressing an unladylike snort. If only they knew the kind of things she did for fun.
The Turners were the last of the guests she'd been visiting. She'd specifically chosen people who wouldn't be turned away at the door for anything.
People who were influential enough that turning them away from the party when they were already invited would start a media frenzy.
Turning away one would not be too bad but turning away as much as fifteen? Even James won't want the attention that came with it.
