 “Ethan, dear, what could we possibly do to embarrass you? This is a huge deal. After everything we’ve learned about ra Rouleau, we’re just excited to meet her.” 

 My father chimed in.

 “I agree with your mother Ethan. We’re going to treat this meeting like we would any other business meeting. This is a business meeting…right” 

 There was undertone of yfulness in my father’s words that suddenly began to annoy me. This! This is what I was afraid of. Suddenly, my brother Corely chimed in.

 “I gotta agree with our parents little brother, how in the world would we embarrass you in front of the woman may possibly save our little sister?” 

 Elizabeth instantly jumped in, a slight grin on her face.

 “Unless of course, she’s more than that.” 

 Elizabeth’s eyes darted over to Owen; it became painfully clear…he’d told my family

 about my possibly being in love with ra. I slowly looked at Owen, my one and only best friend; the only judas in my life. Through gritted teeth, I began to speak.

 “What exactly did you tell my family Owen.”

 Feinging innocence, Owen’s eyes shot up. He looked at me as if I had three heads, pretending to be shocked, he began to speak.

 “Ethan, brother, what are you talking about? I merely gave the family the basics. I promise, I didn’t say anything that wasn’t true.” 

 I’d known Owen long enough to know when he was lying by omission. Rolling my eyes, I knew this conversation would go nowhere, for the time being, my family chose to take Owen’s words over mine. I would just have to prove on Saturday; this was merely a mutual admiration of a fellow colleague. Suddenly, Maria began tough.

 “I don’t know, curing cancer is one thing, but she really has captivated my brother’s heart, then she really is a miracle worker.”

 “No worries re–bear, you’re going to be great. Plus, me and Casey will be right there with you, I promise, nothing is going to go wrong.”

 ra’s eyes slightly watered as she looked at her friend, squeezing her hand lightly, a

 wave of reassurance swept through her. As they approach the front door, they were

 greeted by what looked to be the estate’s caretaker.

 “Wee to the Taylor Estate, my name is Winslow, the head butler. It’s a pleasure to finally meet you all, please, allow me to escort you to the grand room, the Taylor family is 

 most eager to meet you.” 

 ra smiled brightly, looking at both her friends as they beamed with pride, she

 confidently followed Winslow into the manner.

 Ethan’s POV: 

 Both Owen and I decided to stay at the Taylor estatest night. I wanted to make sure

 my family was on their best behavior, a feat often hard to pull off. That night, as we all

 ate dinner, I decided toy down the rules for Saturday.

 “So, you all understand right? Please don’t do any of the things you normally do that would possibly embarrass me.” 

 Owen sat in silence, a huge grin on his face. After that Monday, he kept dropping sullen hints that I was in love with ra. But that wasn’t it, of course, I admired her, who wouldn’t…but love. Every time I would protest, he would wave me off.

 “You’re just emotionally slow, you don’t understand that feeling that’s been gnawing at your pit.” <fn2b01> Th? link to the orig?n of this information r?sts ?n Find1Novel</fn2b01>

 Now as we sat at the dinner table, I realized I had five other Owens to worry about. My mother spoke first.

 9:36 Sat, Sep 6 D…

 The room suddenly fell inughter, shaking my head inplete disappointment… ‘So, they got you too Maria…traitor.‘
