Chapter 7

Chelsea wasn’t sure she’d ever packed so fast. They’d enjoyed tea at a little restaurant with fancy lace and soft colors. For the most part, it would have been pleasant. That is if Catherine stopped going on about the dress. Even her mother could see she was becoming irritated. As soon as they were back at the house, Chelsea excused herself before running up to her room. She didn’t even bother packing them neatly, just tossed them into bags, stuffing them in deeper to fit. Matthew walked in as she sat on her black suitcase with her knees zipping the bag closed.

Matthew raised an eyebrow at her hurried packing. “So, big outing with my mom, I’m guessing it wasn’t great.”

“It was fine.”

“Babe?”

“Okay, fine. I don’t know how you’ve dealt with her for all of these years. I would have pulled my hair out before they assigned me a mandatory straight jacket.” She dug her knees in a little deeper, grunting as she zipped the bag closed. “I mean, she wasn’t horrible. She’s just...your mom has a way…”

Matthew laughed. “Yeah, a way of making people feel like ants? Or make you feel like you don’t even have an elementary education, let alone a college degree? She can be that way?”

Chelsea dusted off her hands before wrapping her arms around his neck. “I’m just really eager to get back to our happy home. I miss our apartment. I miss our neighborhood. I miss sleeping with you.”

“I know,” he said as he kissed her forehead, “I do too.” He watched her walk over to the bed to start on another bag. “What about your parents?”

“Oh, mom said the hospital got slammed without her. They’re begging her to come back early,” she said handing Matthew a bag.

What she didn’t want to tell him was that she also thought her mom was lying. It wasn’t like the hospital didn’t sometimes call her needing her expertise and efficiency, but it was the look on her face when she’s said it. She could tell her mom felt the same way about going home as soon as possible. Chelsea handed Matthew another bag before picking up one of her own.

At the bottom of the stairs, her parents were already chatting with the Rawlins. Her dad excused himself to put their bags in the car after thanking the Rawlins for having them as guests. He shook Lyle’s hand. It didn’t take much for Chelsea to see that her dad really liked him, she trusted his judgment of character. Chelsea gave her mom a hug before kissing her cheek.

“I’ll get to see you before the wedding, right honey?” Her mom asked.

Chelsea smiled. “Of course, we’ll grab lunch.”

“And you’ll attend one family dinner with Matthew here. I know how these things go. Once you get married you’ll forget all about us.”

Chelsea chuckled. “Never.”

She gave her dad a hug before she stood in the door waving as they crunched along the graveled driveway. Sangi was at her elbow doing the same. Chelsea sighed.
