Chapter Twenty-Nine

By Friday morning, Emmeline was a pile of nerves and ended up breaking her favorite coffee cup. The introduction had to go perfectly. This was entirely new territory. What would she do if Millie hated Joel? It was hard for her to even think about what that would mean. How could she be with someone who her daughter hated? How could she let her kid decide her future love life?

Ginny was so curious about the whole thing that she spontaneously decided she had to come up for the weekend.

“Besides,” Ginny said on the phone as they were making plans a few hours before the meeting, “if it goes bad, you might need a bit of support. Not that I think that anything will go wrong, but just in case. Besides, I really need to see this guy who captured my best friend’s heart.”

“He sorta has,” Emmeline answered shyly. It sometimes was hard to believe. For so long she could hardly think about having a relationship, and now she was practically glowing with the mention of Joel’s name.

“Well, it’s about time. I’ve been telling you for years, you’re beautiful and young, you should go out more.”

“Frankly, I’m just amazed that anyone would want to be a part of my crazy schedule. Fingers crossed that everything goes well. It’ll make it so much easier if we can all spend time together, and I’m no longer trying to hide us from Millie.”

“Do you regret not introducing them earlier?”

“No, I wanted to make sure there was something real between us first. Truthfully, I’ll be so relieved when all this is over. It’s hard being single all the time, seeing everyone else go out, getting married, moving on with their lives, and I’m here with nothing changing. It would be really nice to have someone at the end of the day to talk to, snuggle with, watch movies. That sort of thing. Everyone needs something from me. It’s exhausting. It’s nice having Joel around. He doesn’t need anything from me. It’s refreshing.”

“So, how serious are you two?”

“Serious enough. We’ll see how it goes with Millie. I feel like I can’t let myself settle a hundred percent into the relationship until they meet. I mean, Millie is everything. And she’s never had a male figure around, other than Callum. This is different.”

“I am really proud of you for actually going after this. I know how hard everything has been for you, and you haven’t closed yourself off from a relationship.”

“Like Pernella?”

“Yeah, that was my one worry when I first suggested going there. That she would rub off on you, and you’d never be open to anyone else.”

“Pernella is Pernella. I have a feeling that she never really loved her fiancé in the first place, and used it as her excuse. Either way, no one in the world is like Pernella. She is a beast unto herself.”

“Tell me about it. I’ll be there around ten. Keep the door open for me,” said Ginny.

“Always is,” Emmeline said and she hung up the phone.
