"Wait, what did your brother tell you?" Catherine asked.
"You knew about this and didn't tell me!"
"Do I look like I knew that?" Catherine asked, genuinely confused at Isabella.
"My brother told me he couldn't have been more clear about this. I can only assume it was a misunderstanding. He will be very disappointed."
"I promise you, if I had understood him, I wouldn't have let him think that I was agreeing to anything," Catherine insisted.
"Fine," Isabella said. "Misunderstandings happen, and I forgive you."
Catherine took a deep breath. She didn't want to cause a scene.
"Thanks, Isabella."
