Huntley laughed and then turned back to Collin. "Look at you, Collin. It's been days since your wedding, and yet you're still hiding your wife. Mom and Mare both so curious-we really want to see what your new bride looks like. Although your legs are useless, you're still part of this family.
Surely someone of your status wouldn't just marry anyone." As he finished, Huntley's eyes roamed around Collin.
