"Luckily, I got here in time.
Hannah settled down and resumed her oatmeal, studying him with confusion.
"How did you anticipate that something would happen? And why did you cfrom the second floor?" The plate of food Bryson hadn't touched earlier was now Winston's.
Taking a hearty bite out of the sandwich, Winston casually revealed, "I scaled up from the bedroom window in the guest room.

Despite being invited, the Holmes family typically does not participate in banquets of this nature.
