“I don’t want you to think my husband and I are some crazy people. We’re holding on to hope that our son will wake up soon! And when he does, we want to know that he will be with someone that love him and take care him. Build a life a with.”

I listened to Marla with sincerity, I believed her, it’s just…

“Marla, I’m sorry but, why me?”

Marla gave me a passionate but sorrowful look as if it was something she wanted to tell

me but couldn’t.

“I…Gracie, all I can say is, when the time is right, that question will be answered.”

So, there WAS a reason? This is getting complicated.

“Marla I-”

“One week!”

“Huh?”

“Give me your answer in one week. If you can please think it over, really think it over…in seven days, we’ll meet again, and you can give both my husband and I your answer.”

I nodded in agreement. I would wait one week before providing my answer. After dinner, Marla and Theo asked for me to stay the night since it was so late. The next morning, Marla had a chauffeur take me home. I got home around 1pm. That was also the day my father informed me that the Brooks patriarch was really pushing for me and Jonathan to wed.

“It’s the least you can do for this family!”

pondering whether I should accept Marla’s offer. In my previous life, the answer was obviously no. But in this life, I was on my way back to House Christiansen to deliver my

yes.

So, now that we’re all caught up, back to my phone call with Marla.

“Ms. Teagues, I can’t express how glad I am to hear from you.”

Her voice was smooth and regal, you could tell she was royalty.

Smiling.

“It’s good to hear from you as well Mrs. Christiansen. How are you feeling, better I hope.”

“Much better, thank you so much for asking. I thought it would be wise if we spoke while on your way, I want to make sure your trip isn’t wasted.

“I understand!”

“I wanted to know, and please, let me know if this may be too much for you, I wanted to know

if you could meet us at the hospital. I’d like for you to meet my son.”

2. 2.

“That’s not a problem at all Marla! Should I inform the driver?”

“That won’t be necessary. I’m never wrong, I already informed your driver of your

destination.

“Very good! Then I’ll see you soon!”

“Excellent. I’m Cameron Lewis, The young master’s assistant. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”

Young master, so formal. It was almost like I was living in a novel. I smiled brightly as I shook Cameron’s hand. He had a slight look of hesitation in his eyes. As we walked to

elevator, I decided to address it now. Better to get any misunderstandings out the way

BEFORE the I do’s.

“Cameron, I want you to know, you can be open and honest with me. If you have something to say, I’d rather you said it now than later.”

He looked at me with a stern look, closing his eyes and exhaling, he began to speak.
