Bess shrugged, keeping her eyes down on her magazine but this time forcing herself to. Her lips pursed as she tilted her head, trying to look as casual about the encounter as she could. Bess could certainly tell the truth quickly and loudly with her sharp tongue, but lying, especially to her husband, was a bit difficult. Not to say she wasn't decent at it, but.
"No reason," she said, figuring it was the safest answer. Bess knew if Drystan prodded enough she'd eventually break, or...well, no, it was really something, to have a sister-in-law, especially one as seemingly fragile as Penny. Bess really felt like the girl's mother most days, so being able to help her like a real sister would was something she did not want to break lightly. She'd have to come up with a good excuse for her husband, then, because he seemed to be more concerned about this than she'd thought he would be.
Bess flipped through her magazine, not paying much attention to it now as she tried to focus on her story, "Bumped into him, he remembered me from the party."
