"I'm lying about her face?" Kate said the words slowly to make sense of them. How on earth could she be lying about how disgusting Alessandra's face was? It led her to believe Edgar had not seen Alessandra's face and was lying to her. "I am not the liar here, Edgar."
"I will excuse you for what you said as they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder. You don't seem to have a good eye, Kate. Alessandra's beauty is none of your concern as you are not the one marrying her. I suggest you either sit back down or leave before you irritate me more than you already have."
"Edgar, please be kind to my sister. Kate has always liked you so this will be hard for her to handle. Please understand," Alessandra said, adding salt to Kate's wound.
"I am the only sane one here," Kate stormed off, tired of trying to be the voice of reason for Edgar.
