David looked at Aria Grant, genuinely unaware of all this. Since that was the case, he knew he really should clear things up with her, but how complicated could this relationship be? Why did Aria say that Thomas Yates was her friend?
"Mrs. Aria, do you know? My head is so confused right now, I really have no idea why. Do you understand? I was with Thomas Yates all day today, it's not like I happened to run into you by chance. You might not believe it when I tell you this, but I saw you and Thomas eating together!"
Aria Grant was utterly baffled. She had been dining with Thomas Flack, hadn't he just returned from abroad? Were they not just dining together?
Why was David saying all this? Aria felt it was utterly absurd, so she quickly asked David, "What do you mean by all that you've just said? I was dining with a friend, how did it become dining with Thomas? Are you suggesting my friend is Thomas Yates?"
