Everything was going so well, James thought as he greeted Eva, Colin, and Winnie as they arrived. There was something that felt right about seeing Melanie with his friends, like a missing puzzle piece coming into place. This was how it should have been all along. Melanie should always have been part of James's life, part of his family, and he was more determined than ever to fix the rift that had grown between them over the years since Vincent's arguments.
Those thoughts were still on James's mind as, to his horror, the reason for the rift walked into the garden. What on earth was Vincent doing here? He glanced at Grace, realising too late that he hadn't told his niece why her father wasn't invited to the party, or how important it was that he didn't attend. Oh dear. James shifted, stepping between Vincent and Melanie as he approached. This was where he should have been when this fight had happened the first time and he took his place firmly, trying to keep his tone calm and his voice waver free as he spoke. "You were not invited, Vincent. Melanie is here because she was. Let's talk inside, Vincent, it wouldn't do to cause a scene." He added, hoping to appeal to Vincent's sense of decorum. If anyone wanted to keep this all behind closed doors, it would be Vincent, and right now that was the best hope of keeping the party from being ruined.
