As Allen shut the door behind him, Lilian felt a wave of anxiety churn in her stomach. They had planned to enjoy a quiet lunch together before his family's unexpected arrival, and she felt nervous about it.
Lilian picked a nice dress from her wardrobe to wear. As she glanced in the mirror, she noticed the hickeys Allen had left on her bosoms. He never seemed able to resist leaving a mark on her. A warm smile crossed her face as she thought of him.

Allen paused at the base of the stairs, surveying the room. Everyone was there, including Laverne and Penelope. His daughter had quickly resumed her joyful play with her uncle to his relief. Allen wondered how long they had been there and why they had come.
