Lyse felt as Levi came beside her and wrapped a possesive arm around her. The blonde man looked from her to Levi with an amused smirk that she was sure Levi would not appreciate.
"Why are you here Bret, I am sure you were not invited." Levi said coldly and Bret did not seem the least bit offended.
"I am family." He said and raised his arms in a shrug, "Family does not need to be invited to family functions." He said then his eyes went back to Lyse and she could feel Levi bristle beside her.
"Are you not going to introduce us Leviticus?" Bret asked mockingly.
"Lyse is my wife." Levi said.
Bret looked up at Levi with a raised eyebrow and a smirk. "So it is true, a wife." He said, "very convenient considering the time. How does it feel to be tied down, Levi? Must be quite a change from your bachelor days."
Levi, his jaw clenched, forced a smile. "It is great, Bret. Really great."
