On Saturday, at Lucan's house, a party was held, and all the women on the city's football team were invited with their families.
Lucan hadn't expected to find out that Katie had a father. The last time he visited her house, she had mentioned that her mother was out with her boyfriend, which led him to assume she didn't have a father. Clearly, he had been wrong.
Still, he didn't dwell on it. Whatever was going on wasn't his concern, so he pushed the thought aside and focused on hosting the party.
The evening went smoothly without any issues, and the atmosphere was lively and enjoyable. Lucan decided he'd definitely host another gathering like this in the future.
