“Well, they soon will be! Did you see how fiercely she defended him?” Agate sighed. “Even Shawn might have a girlfriend soon, and yet you still don’t have anyone reliable by your side!”

“I’m right here!” Bobby chimed in as he approached. “Agate, am I not reliable?”

Agate chuckled, artfully dodging the question.

“Bobby, where are your parents?”

“They’re on their way.” Bobby casually threw an arm over Katherine’s shoulders, the gesture more friendly than intimate. Together, they looked more like childhood friends than a couple.

“Am I not reliable?” Bobby pressed, eager for a real answer, while Katherine raised an eyebrow at her mother, waiting to see how she’d respond.

“You’re reliable, Bobby, but isn’t your family already arranging a match for you?”

“So what?” Bobby waved off the concern. “If Katherine agrees to marry me, I’ll call off everything. She and I have real feelings!”

Agate laughed, her tone playful. “Oh, Bobby, your marriage is practically set in stone. Canceling it? Your father would have your legs broken!”

Bobby turned to Katherine. “Would you mind marrying a cripple? We’ve known each other forever.”

Katherine smiled politely, her words blunt but teasing, “Yes, I would.”

“Heartless woman!” Bobby exclaimed.

They all walked inside together. Shawn, standing in the courtyard, watched Katherine and Bobby’s interaction.

“Shawn?” Lily called out.

He ignored her and strode over to Katherine’s parents instead.

“Mr. and Mrs. Nash, it’s been a while.”

Turner gave Shawn a pat on the shoulder. “Shawn, good to see you! Ignore the chatter outside. We know you’re a good man. If you ever need anything, just let us know.”

“Thank you. Speaking of which, there’s something I’d like to ask for your help with.”

Shawn’s eyes drifted to Katherine, lingering on Bobby’s arm around her. Sensing the tension, Bobby removed his arm and licked his lips. Oblivious to the silent exchange, Turner asked, “What can we help with?”

Shawn’s smile was faint. “I’m of the age where I should be thinking about marriage.”

Agate raised an eyebrow, her eyes darting to Lily. “Asking for our help? Haven’t you already found someone you fancy?”

“Lily and I are just friends. There’s someone else I’m interested in, but she doesn’t share the same feelings.”

“Oh, really?” Agate’s curiosity piqued. “And which lucky woman might that be? Would you like us to play matchmaker?”

Shawn began, “I’ve taken a liking to—”

“Dad! Mom! Let’s find a place to sit!” Katherine interjected, cutting Shawn off.

“Excuse me, young lady, I have yet to complete my inquiry!” Agate complained.

Katherine dragged her parents away.

Those privy to the situation could discern that Katherine was intentionally concealing something. Bobby was on the verge of smirking when he glimpsed Shawn’s frosty glare from the periphery of his vision.
