As the evening sun cast a warm glow over Cousins, Katherine sat in the kitchen, anxiously waiting for Sebastian to arrive for dinner. She had invited him over after their date at the cafe the other day, and now she couldn't help but feel both excited and nervous about spending more time with him.

Conrad, who had been moping around the house, ignoring her ever since he snapped at Katherine, couldn't help but notice her anticipation. He tried his best to hide his jealousy, but it was clear to everyone that he was not pleased about the new guy in Katherine's life.

As Katherine fidgeted with the table settings, Conrad casually walked into the kitchen. "So, this is a big night, huh?" he said, trying to sound nonchalant.

"Yeah, just dinner, with our family." Katherine replied, trying not to give away her own excitement. "You know, nothing too fancy."

Conrad raised an eyebrow and smirked. "Right, just dinner with a guy you met up with at a cafe. Nothing to be excited about, I guess."

Katherine rolled her eyes, not wanting to engage in an argument with Conrad. "It's just dinner, Conrad. Why do you care so much anyway?"

"I don't," Conrad shrugged. He walked out of the room.

Soon, Katherine realized that she had nothing to be scared of since the dinner went as well as she could have hoped for. Her family took little to no time to warm up to Sebastian. That is except of Conrad, who refused to speak to the boy.

As the lively dinner conversation continued, Katherine couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions swirling inside her. She tried to focus on the banter and laughter around the table, to Sebastian who enjoyed his food right next to her, but her mind kept wandering back to Conrad. 

 They were all celebrating Belly's birthday with a delicious feast of lobster. Susannag had gone all out this year, even arranging for special flower crowns to be made for the girls which Katherine really felt like a princess in.

"So Cam," Jeremiah broke Katherine's train of thought. "Do you mind if I call you Cam Cameron?"

The boy just smiled lightly, "Feel free. That's funny."

"Cool"

 "I'm glad you're here, Sebastian and Cameron," Susannah grinned at the boys, "I know your moms from the club. You both are quite the buzz with the ladies, they think very highly of you."

"Thank you, Susannah," Sebastian replied, giving Jeremiah who was snickering a look, "My mom says hi."

The conversation continued as Laurel offered Cameron a Korean dish which was a birthday tradition in their house. She was careful in noting that she kept the food vegetarian as per his preferences.
