Chapter 5

I had forgotten how beautiful Arthur Cain’s mansion is. It’s been a while since I stepped inside. I watch the guests flow through the beautiful foyer that could have been the size of a regular house. A large banquet area on the main floor is decorated with no expense sparred. You could almost think someone was getting married instead of it being some charity function for the poor.

I wonder how it would be if the poor was invited to an event for the poor? Too Twilight Zone for the people to be giving money to the needy to meet any of the people they give to.

I wonder how I would be if I became rich and powerful like Arthur Cain. Would I throw functions like this? Would I build wings in hospitals for sick children like him? Or would I spend it all on myself?

I spot Marta walking around the room carrying a drink tray with glasses of red and white wine. I stop her by putting my hand out playfully and point at a glass.

She waves her head. “In your dreams, dearie.” She brushes past me with a smile.

I spot Thomas Winters at the edge of the party. He seems just as uncomfortable as I do. I walk up to him. Lately, Thomas kind of creeps me out with how polite and robotic he comes off, but being at a party and him being one of the few people I know here gets me excited to see him.

“I guess you have to come to these things to?” I ask him.

He looks at me with a thin smile. “Suppose so.”

I look out at the crowd of rich looking people with their fancy dresses and suits. I may blend in tonight with my own fancy clothes that I’m wearing, but I’m not one of them. I can tell, neither is Thomas.

“So, since you’re probably a pro at these events now, tell me how bored I am going to be for the rest of the night?” I ask.

Thomas raises his eyebrows but doesn’t say a word.

Right. Now I remember why talking to Thomas is so bad. I have no clue what to say, for fear of him raising his eyebrows at me again or giving me a one-word answer. Instead I just sit back, watching the crowd with him. Before I can make a stupid comment on how nice the weather has been lately, Thomas leaves and walks through the crowd.

Marta walks up to him with her tray of drinks and seems to offer him one. He looks at her with disgust and continues to walk through the crowd.

I notice as he walks away that he’s wearing his infamous black leather gloves. I smile to myself, wondering how much of a germaphobe Thomas Winters really is. He had the same look of disgust when he stepped in scrambled eggs in the guesthouse last week. I could see the rage in his eyes as he cleaned his shoe under the kitchen sink. It was unsettling.
