ANNALISE

We change for dinner and head downstairs, the house already growing warm. I decided on a black dress, seeing as it's a special occasion. But the party isn't until tomorrow night. The rest of Kat and Eric's family and friends will be arriving then. I never really thought of Kat's parents as 'rich' but they've clearly put a lot into this, renting the house, having everyone stay. It's quite extravagant considering this is just the engagement, not the wedding.

Ethan looks good enough to eat in his smart shirt and trousers, making me pine for him. We arrive in the dining room where the long table is set for nine people. Eric's dad is sat beside Eric at one end, every inch of exposed skin covered in tattoos, all the way up his neck to his chin. He leans in to Eric, the two of them chatting together quietly but I can't catch a word they're saying. I'm so intrigued. It's the most I've ever seen Eric talk.

Kat's parents are sat beside her, Linda and George, looking practically regal tonight. Christ, if this is how they act over the engagement, how fancy is the wedding going to be?

Ethan pulls out my chair for me and I blush immediately, caught off-guard.

“Oh- thanks,” I mutter, dropping into it. Why am I so flustered? Ever since he showed up shirtless in our bedroom, I haven't been able to stop thinking about him. But how are we ever going to get a moment of privacy?

Perhaps we can go on some sort of rotation shift with Libby and Paul. The thought sullies my mood. I'm not exactly comfortable with them knowing what we'd be up to. And it completely saps any spontaneity out it.

I'm surprised to find Kat's parents have ordered in catering staff and our food is soon brought to us on shiny china plates.

“So Ethan, you're Annalise's new guy, are you?” George addresses him, folding his hairy arms.

“Yes, sir,” Ethan replies – very soldier-like. It kind of turns me on. What's the matter with me tonight?!

“Well it's a pleasure to meet you. Hopefully you'll still be around next year for the wedding.” He throws his head back, laughing and Linda shoots him a glance.

Ethan shifts awkwardly in his seat, not looking at me. The smile falls from my face at his expression. I mean, I know we haven't exactly been seeing each other for very long, but the idea that we could stay together isn't that impossible, is it?

I can't draw my eyes from him as Kat starts to dominate the conversation, discussing venues, cakes, flowers, everything down to the earrings she's going to wear on the big day.

Ethan turns to me at last and I drop my eyes, not wanting to cause him any anxiety.

“Something on your mind?” he murmurs, taking my hand beneath the table.

My stomach flips over and I shake my head.

“No,” I lie, glancing up.

His eyes narrow just a touch but he manages to hold my gaze for a second. Leaning in, he places a light kiss, right near my ear, sending a bolt of electricity down my spine.
