texas    pseudo-royalty    versus    london    pseudo-royalty    was    perhaps    jameson    hawthorne's    favorite    week    out    of    the    year.    the    week    when    the    st.    james    family    visited    was    always    exciting.    whether    it    was    messing    with    logan,    or    trying    to    win    mimi's    affection.    jameson    wasn't    sure    if    he    was    interested,    or    just    interested    in    whatever    grayson    wanted.    ❝    thea    said    she    saw    your    car    pulling    up.    no    clue    where    she's    gotten    to    now.    ❞    not    that    he    really    cared.

❝    you    can't    be    serious.    honestly,    i    don't    know    what    i'm    supposed    to    say    here.    ❞    jameson    says,    brows    furrowing.    this    may    have    been    the    first    time    in    his    life    that    jameson    winchester    hawthorne    ever    been    truly    speechless.

❝    i    think    i've    always    been    pretty    nice    to    you,    mi.    ❞    he    says,    a    slightly    more    serious,    but    still    soft,    tone    to    his    voice    as    he    looks    over    at    her.    he's    always    had    a    soft    spot    for    her.    he    can    almost    hear    her    resist    to    roll    her    eyes,    but    it's    charming.    she's    always    been    charming.    ❝        you're    nothing    if    not    polite.    i'll    introduce    you    to    avery.    she's    around    here    somewhere.    probably    hiding    from    my    mother.    ❞    skye    hawthorne.    jameson    had    a    lot    of    feelings    where    his    mother    was    concerned.    ❝    i'm    sure    skye    and    zara's    lawyers    are    digging    up    everything    they    can    on    our    new    heiress.    gold    digger    or    not,    the    old    man    had    a    reason    for    choosing    her.    hopefully    we    find    out    what    it    is    eventually.    ❞        he    sighs,    thinking    about    how    many    rumors    were    actually    out    there    right    now.    not    all    of    them    true,    of    course,    with    the    most    outlandish    ones    being    about    aliens    and    time    travel.    but    the    others...    ❝    there's    no    validity    to    the    illegitimate    daughter    slash    granddaughter    claims,    but    we've    been    effectively    disinherited    and    she    has    to    survive    living    here    for    a    year,    so    i    suppose    we'll    see    what    happens.    grayson    is    more    the    businessman,    but    he    prefers    the    foundation.    ❞    jameson    just    enjoyed    the    thrill.    the    games.        ❝    frankly,    i    think    you're    going    to    adore    avery,    and    that's    a    bit    scary.    ❞

    ❝    that's better, don't you think? feels good to be nice to each other.    ❞    she laughs, mimi smiling at him somewhat affectionately. even if he calls her by her legal name, which is definitely not her favorite thing... but it somehow sounds right off his tongue. she shakes her head at his words, practically rolling her eyes, though she won't.    ❝    you know i'm only being polite. and i'd hardly have any clue myself.    ❞    she presses her lips together, thoughts running through her head. he's right. it would be only right to take pictures with the new heiress to the hawthorne fortune, even if she's not a hawthorne herself.    ❝    i would love to meet avery. you know it's not that poor girl's fault she's trapped here with your delightful family from what i've heard. i'm as sensitive to the concern about er- i believe you americans call them gold diggers? as you are... but... how could this girl be that? she does not know any of you. at least that's what the papers say.    ❞    but then mimi pauses.    ❝    i suppose i should ask you if any of the gossip is true... since i am here after all. and i doubt you're interested in the family business aspect of things...    ❞

❝    it's    lovely    to    see    you,    amelia.    ❞    he    says,    laughter    he's    holding    back    apparent    in    his    voice.    he    wants    to    scoff    at    the    coat,    but    he    knows    that    won't    earn    him    any    favors    with    the    socialite.    besides,    with    all    the    hidden    passageways    in    the    house,    she'd    get    lost    a    lot    sooner    than    she'd    find    a    coat    closet.    so,    he    takes    it,    and    drapes    it    over    his    arm.    ❝    zara    and    constantine    aren't    my    parents,    though.    sorry    if    you    saw    them    first,    though.    if    you    ever    find    out    who    my    father    is,    though,    do    let    me    know,    will    you?    skye    hasn't    been    so    forthcoming.    ❞        he    chuckles    softly    at    her    comment    about    thea.    he    doesn't    worry    about    her.    not    really.    she's    no    real    threat    to    him;    especially    if    she    sticks    near    bex.    ❝    heiress    apparent    is    somewhere    around,    too.    since    she    apparently    owns    everything    now,    you'll    probably    want    to    meet    her,    too.    i'm    sure    that    would    be    just    perfect    for    photos.    ❞    said    with    faux    enthusiasm.

    ❝    it's lovely to see you, too, jameson. my flight was perfectly fine, thank you for asking    ❞    she quips as she walks up to him, looking almost like a model the way she takes her coat off, holding it out to him. he'll take it, if he has any sense.    ❝    don't worry about thea.    ❞    she shakes her head.    ❝    i'll make my rounds of introductions later. your parents seemed happy to see me at least.    ❞    but then they're likely courting her favor the same way her own parents are somewhat courting theirs. family friends, to be sure, but... more than that in some ways.
