“Initially, | was puzzled by Trevor's unexpected appearance at my dinner party. However, | later discovered that
he had cto introduce guests to Ms. Locket.
“Trevor's effort to build connections for Ms. Locket and bring Beck and others along shows he is serious about

Celeste was stunned. She thought Trevor had returned when she received his call. Upon entering the room and
