"That's good," Marlene said as she hugged Jamie.Brian came over to him, shook his hand and said, "So, how was your week?"Jamie remained quiet for a mo...ent, and then said, "It was beyond great, Dad." Cool," he said as he sat down in the rocking chair. Marlene sat in her recliner and said, "So, has anything major happened around here since we've been away?"Jamie sat down next to Lynn, and held her hand. Marlene and Brian looked at both of them, then at each other in bewilderment."Um, Jamie, is. ” I said, giving her a kiss. “Well, you got home late, so get cleaned up.” she chided, returning my kiss. “Seriously Douglas, they will be here in 15 minutes, and I really need this, so hurry up.” Shower, shave, and dressed in 25 minutes, not bad really. I came down stairs just as the door bell rang and Donna was walking by to the door, I stepped in behind her like I had been there all along. Typical greetings followed. “Jessica, so nice to see you, Douglas has told me so much about you.. The first four days were okay and we managed to get through them, but by the fifth day we were completely worn out and I don't think anyone was looking forward to today, but we all had a little bit of excitement in the back of our heads as we knew the weekend approached and we could do whatever we wanted. So with that in my mind I went to the locker room and got suited up, black under armour sweatpants, my black north face and a cool heat creating hat my mom got me. (cool right) and of course. “Love one.” She quickly replied.I excused myself and went back to the bar, returning with fresh drinks for all of us. As I approached, I could see Vanessa staring at me as she talked with her sister.“Thanks.” She said, taking her drink and eyeing me.I handed Rochelle hers and sat down.The bar was very full at this point and I was struggling to hear over the noise. The sisters were engaged in animated conversation and I returned to the bar for more drinks rather quickly. When I returned, Vanessa.
