Chapter Twenty

Being with Declan’s family had been amazingly fun and had felt like being part of a sitcom. There was so much activity, so much love, and so much interrogation, Angela didn’t know what to think.

Before Declan had come to California to rescue her, it hadn’t been so bad back at home. There had been comments about the looks Declan and she had exchanged over the years, and some quips about the chemistry between them. But the girls hadn’t pushed her too hard.

But now that Roxie had caught the scent of something actually going on between her and Declan, they were pushing hard for information—and doing their best at matchmaking.

The men seemed to be clueless while the women were better interrogators than the CIA. She wasn’t sure how much longer she could avoid it. So far she’d spent the day with Timothy glued to her side so they couldn’t ask her the difficult questions. That wasn’t going to last. The fishing trip was over with a bucket full of future dinners.

They’d returned to Declan’s home and now it was time for the family dinner that seemed to be growing by leaps and bounds. Declan’s father, Lucian, had talked them all into going to his good friend, Joseph Anderson’s, place. Angela hadn’t met the man yet, but she knew a lot about Joseph. How could anyone not know about the man? He owned half of Seattle, half the state of Washington, for that matter. She was afraid to meet him.

But with so many people around she wouldn’t be of much interest to someone like Joseph. However, with the size of his property, she wasn’t sure she’d be able to keep enough people around her to avoid being carried away by her friends.

She’d insisted on bringing something to the dinner. They’d told her not to worry about is as it was a party welcoming her and Timothy back, but she’d insisted on it being called a family gathering. She didn’t like to be in the spotlight. And they couldn’t have a dinner honoring her at a house where she hadn’t even met the owner. She wanted to be just another guest, and guests brought food.

She was a good cook, and took a lot of pride in that fact. She was also intimidated to be cooking for this crowd. But it was better than showing up empty-handed. She already was leaning too heavily on the Forbes family. She wasn’t going to be a total freeloader.

She stood in Declan’s dream kitchen with cookies cooling on the counter while she put together a macaroni salad and stuffed mushrooms. She felt as if she’d forgotten how to use a mixing spoon. She was a hot mess and it didn’t appear to be getting better anytime soon.

“Mom, we’re ready to go,” Timothy said as he came skidding into the kitchen. She hated how jumpy she was. It was her son for goodness sake, and she was jumping as if a snake had crawled out of the sink drain.
