His parents’ house isn’t a house, it’s a mansion. Beautiful brown brick at least three stories and it causes my heart to catch in my throat. I should have been warned when we had to go through a large black gate just to get there, this is real life; it isn’t the movies and my boyfriend’s parents live here. I don’t know what I expected but not this. Not this at all. Kam’s parents aren’t just rich, they’re wealthy.

“You grew up here?” I ask, my voice sounding wobbly as we walk towards the house.

“This is home,” he says easily. I feel my lips press tightly together. Gosh, I’m not ready for this.

“Wow!” I can’t help but let it escape my mouth. Kam gives me a sheepish smile, squeezes my hand, and kisses it as we pull in. I don’t know why I expected him to ring the bell and I’d have time to prepare myself as his parents greeted us at the door. Kam has a key but he doesn’t need it since the door is open. The moment I step in I’m more impressed than I was when we pulled up to it. The house is breathtaking—the foyer larger and grand, with two staircases leading to the top. I remind myself to not allow my mouth to hang open like a dog, but I’m in awe. It’s all creams and soft whites and a majestic chandelier right at the top in the middle. I bet the tile on the floor is worth more money than I’ve seen in my lifetime.

“Kameron. So good to see you.” A small older woman with dark blonde hair and grey streaks swept into a ponytail appears from one of the large doorways.

“Ellie. You look beautiful,” he says, enveloping her in a big hug. She turns to me, her smile bright and friendly.

“Ellie this is my girlfriend Megan,” he says, beaming proudly.

“Hi Ellie.” I extend my hand but she pulls me into a hug.

“You are gorgeous!”

“Thank you so much.” I smile, not sure how to follow that up.

“I’ve been taking care of this little prince since before his first tooth fell out. I was his nanny and now the housekeeper, and hopefully one day I’ll be changing his little one’s diapers.” She laughs, nudging him.

“Ellie,” he says in a playful warning tone.

“Everyone is in the back. Katie and Joshua are already here.”

I breathe a sigh of relief that Blue’s in attendance.

“Do you want a quick tour or to be led out to the slaughter?” he says playfully, and my face goes pale.

“Oh honey, don’t let him scare you. No slaughter, just brunch!” she says warmly.

“I’m sort of hungry now,” I say as easily as I can.

Blue.

Orange.

Grey.

The yard is sprawling and decked with white lawn furniture. There’s a buffet table of food already laid out. At a large table already sits an older couple across from Katie and Blue.

“Cinderella’s finally made it to the party,” Katie enthuses. My nerves flinch until I realize she’s talking to Kam.
