Thirteen

As the evening of the Valentine’s banquet approached, Tangie faced a mixture of emotions. She found herself torn between being drawn to Gregg and being frustrated with him. Clearly, they were as different as two people could possibly be. And while he seemed attracted to her—at least on the surface—Gregg had never actually voiced anything to confirm that. Other than that one impulsive kiss. The one he never mentioned, even in passing.

Maybe he had multiple personality disorder. Maybe the man who kissed her wasn’t Gregg Burke. Maybe it was his romantic counterpart. Tangie laughed, thinking of what a funny stage play that would make. Slow down, girl. Not everything is a story. Some things are very real.

The fact that her heart was getting involved after only a few weeks scared Tangie a little. She didn’t want to make the same mistake she’d made so many times before. . .falling for a guy just because they were working on a show together. She’d had enough of that, thank you very much. Still, Gregg was different in every conceivable way from the other men she’d known. And his heart for the Lord was evident in everything he did.

Tangie smiled, thinking about the night they’d posted the cast list. The children—well, most of them, anyway—had been ecstatic. Margaret had sulked, naturally, but even she seemed content by the time Tangie explained her role as narrator. Excited, even. Of course, they hadn’t faced her mother yet. And then there was the issue of Josh. He’d shown more than a little interest in her, something which ruffled her feathers. She’d finally put him in his place, but would he behave himself during the rehearsals? Had she made a mistake by putting him in such a pivotal role?

With the casting of the show behind her, Tangie could focus on the Valentine’s banquet. On the evening of the event, she looked through her clothing items for something appropriate to wear. Thanks to her many theater parties in New York City, she had plenty of eveningwear. She settled on a beautiful red and black dress with a bit of an Asian influence. Tony—her one-time Mr. Right—had said she looked like a million bucks in it. But then, he was prone to flattery, wasn’t he?

At a quarter till seven, a knock sounded at the door.

“Come in.” Tangie sat at the small vanity table, finishing up her makeup but paused to look up as Gran-Gran whistled.

“Tangie.” Her grandmother’s eyes filled with tears. “I don’t believe it.”

“Believe what?” She slipped her earrings on and gave herself one last glance.

Gran-Gran drew close. “You look so much like your mother did at this age. And I just had the strangest flashback.”

“Oh?” Tangie looked at her with a smile. “What was it?”

Her grandmother’s eyes filled with tears. “This was her bedroom, you know. And I remember the day she got married, watching her put on her makeup and fix her hair in that very spot.” She pointed to the vanity table, then dabbed at her eyes.
