Chapter Ten

Ping.

Nealy picked up her phone and read.

“Hey, Sweet. Weekend plans?”

“Meeting parents tomorrow night. You’re welcome to come.”

“Not gonna crash. You visit.”

“Something’s up. They insisted I must be there.”

“Where?”

“Brick House.”

“Need me, call. Will be close.”

Nealy followed the shaded drive to the car filled lot. She pulled in an empty space turned off the key and dropped it in her purse. And sat. She stared at the massive building and wondered what was so special about tonight? Her parents refused to travel to visit since they learned how she lived. Why now? Why here?

She shook the questions from her mind. Appearances. Her mother chose this particular place to make a statement.

A familiar vehicle pulled into a space near her. Her parents had arrived.

Nealy pulled in a deep breath and blew it out slowly as she stepped from her car. She rolled her shoulders and raised her chin.

“Nealy,” her mother hugged her.

“My baby girl,” her father also hugged her. “You look good. Happy.”

“I am happy.” She took his arm as they walked toward the building. “I met someone special.” She leaned into him so only he could hear.

“Do we get to meet him tonight?”

“Not tonight. He’s working.”

“Any idea what this occasion is?”

“Not at all. Mother insisted I be here though.”

“Same here.”

“You two can catch up later. We must make a timely appearance,” Mrs. Kinman snapped.

Father and daughter glanced to each other grinning. “Appearance is everything,” they laughed.

Her mother turned a scolding look on them and quickened her pace.

“We are here for the Abbott/Kinman party,” her mother informed the hostess.

“Yes, ma’am. Josh will show you to your room.”

“Nealy you go ahead, we'll follow,” her mother urged.

Nealy followed him to a private room to the right. As she entered the room her hands curled into fists and she felt heat flush her face.

People from her past filled the room. Across from two long tables with place settings stood a smaller round table decorated with gifts and a cake. Above that table hung a banner: Congratulations Nealy& Conner.

She whirled on her parents who stood behind her. Her mother beamed with hands clasped together at her chest. Her father's mouth and eyes wide as he shook his head and guided his wife past Nealy into the room.

“What…Is…This?” She shrieked.

“Nealy. Sweetheart,” cooed a voice from behind.

She spun to find a familiar face.

Conner Abbot stood facing her. Dressed as always in a suit and tie with gold cuff links that he once told her he wore to show off his financial status. He was tall and slim with impeccably styled blonde hair. At one time she thought him to be the most handsome man alive. That was before she got to know him. Now she would never look twice in his direction.

He grabbed her hands. “You don’t know how elated I am to know you are ready to move forward. I know this may seem presumptuous, but you know our mothers; they took care of everything. Forgive me if it’s a bit overboard.”

“Excuse me?” Astounded and confused, Nealy stared at Conner then to the banner on the wall.
