Chapter 5

Livie

I was actually surprised that I enjoyed my night out with Blayne. I'd been looking forward to going, but I'd thought of it as business. Making connections, meeting the people who would eventually become my clients or would at least get out the word about my work. I'd also known his family would be there and it would be a good chance for us to get to know each other. His parents and one of his brother's had been at the wedding with his wife and kids, but it hadn't been like we'd had much time to bond.

My time with his family had, it seemed, been well spent. I'd known I’d need the support of the Westmores to make it in this particular social circle. Marrying the black sheep in the family wasn't the best way to do it, but it had gotten my foot in the door. I was pretty sure I'd managed to make my own headway after that. The Westmores might judge by association, but they weren't stupid.

I'd almost thought I'd blown it with my smart remark to Blayne's oldest brother but the guy had been such a dick that I hadn't been able to keep my mouth shut. Fortunately, Mr. Westmore had seemed to appreciate the wit and the more I'd spoken with him and his wife, the more they'd seemed to like me. Well, I wasn't entirely sure they liked me, exactly, but the questions became more sincere and less like the poorly disguised jabs they had first sent my way. I hadn't taken any of it personally, not really. I'd gotten the impression that the things they were picking at weren't chosen from some sort of prejudice, but rather because they were the things about me they could choose. No matter who I was or where I was from, they would've found something to use against me. Besides, growing up as an orphan in the Czech Republic had given me plenty of practice dealing with insults, disguised or not.

I hadn't been entirely certain that things had gone as well as I'd thought until Blayne and I had been on our way home and he'd told me his father had said I'd impressed him. Blayne didn’t need to tell me that this was rare and didn't happen very often.

While Blayne and I hadn't done anything intimate at the event, not even joining other couples in dancing, there had been something between us. He hadn't done anything inappropriate, but there had been touching. Innocent enough, but I hadn't been able to shake the heat from his hand on my back. I told myself that I didn't want him and that he didn't want me. He was with Katka and that was fine with me because I knew they'd treat each other right. He wouldn't hurt my sister. And even if Katka did have a tendency to be a bit flippant with her relationships, she'd be careful with Blayne simply because she wouldn't want to mess things up for me.
