"Emma? Your assistant?" Melissa raised her brows. Isn't she the woman Josh told her about?

"If she is your date, then what is she doing with Daniel?" Elizabeth curiously inquired.

"Yes, Owen. What is she doing with Daniel?" Damon grinned at his cousin, earning a deadly glare from him.

When both Melissa and Elizabeth looked at him, Owen quickly answered, "She is our friend."

"Oh, is it?" Elizabeth looked at Emma again. "She is pretty."

"I know, right?" Damon sighed. "I didn't know Emma was so se—OUCH." He rubbed his arm and frowned. "Dude, that hurt."

Owen frowned and knocked his arm again.

"Hey, stop—"

"Owen, does your brother like her?" Melissa couldn't take her eyes off her youngest son, who had a bright smile on his face. Seeing him so comfortable with a person who wasn't family was very unusual.

"Maybe he does," Owen answered. His eyes fixed on the couple who were swaying with the light music being played in the background.
