It hadn't really occurred to him to be nervous about this when he'd first issued the invitation, any more than he would have been nervous about making arrangements to meet Lestrange at the club or schedule another expedition to a haunted house. Coming by for dinner occasionally was just the sort of thing friends did, wasn't it? It wasn't until the week of that it had really occurred to him that this meant he'd have to interact with one of his friends and all of his siblings (except Clementine) at the same time, but wasn't something he was looking forward to at all. He'd briefly pondered canceling yesterday, but that was stupid. He was just being silly; this was going to be fine.

He hadn't really wanted to tell any of his siblings beforehand, honestly, because he was afraid that as soon as he made the announcement at least one of them would start being weird about it. Ford recognized, though, that if he let an eligible bachelor by the name of Lestrange show up for dinner without giving Verity at least enough time to change her dress if she felt so inclined, she was likely to murder him. He'd spent a few minutes calculating what the last possible moment was that he could have made the announcement without being obvious about the fact that he didn't want to tell them all about it, and had decided it was probably about an hour before he'd told Lestrange to show up. He was in the sitting room, pretending to read but really just watching the clock hands slowly march on, when the moment arrived.

"Mr. Lestrange is coming to dinner tonight, by the way," he announced with practiced nonchalance, before looking down at his book again.
