By midday, Allyson had rushed over upon hearing the news of Matthew's return. She even left the administrative duties at the Governor's Keep to Bram temporarily.
"Matteo!" Allyson called out, her long legs carrying her swiftly to the dock. Her excitement was evident as she waved at Matthew with a bright smile.
To Allyson, Matthew wasn't just her benefactor—he was also incredibly handsome. She'd even occasionally wondered if she'd put up much of a fight if Matthew ever tried something inappropriate.
The small group gathered around the grill turned to look at Allyson as she approached.
"Governor, care to join us?" Matthew asked, standing up and pulling a chair over for her.
"I happen to be free right now. I'd love to join."
Meanwhile, back at the Governor's Keep, Bram sneezed unexpectedly. Glancing at the meal in front of him, he sighed. Forget it. I'll eat later.
Allyson sat obediently next to Matthew, her eyes locked on the grill in front of her. She barely moved as if afraid to break the moment.
Noticing the perfectly cooked meat on the grill, Matthew picked up a skewer and handed it to Allyson. "Here, it's ready. Everyone, dig in."
Allyson took the skewer gingerly, her cheeks flushing with a faint blush. "Thank you."
Matthew smiled faintly. "No need for formalities, Governor. We're all friends here."
Allyson hesitated for a moment before biting her lip in determination. "Since we're friends, don't call me Governor anymore. Just call me Allyson."
