Pushing through the front door of Belladonna, I head straight for the kitchen. It’s been a long five days, and I can’t wait to see my dad and the rest of my Belladonna family. I mean, seeing my friends in Houston was great, so was visiting Mom’s family, but everyone’s still so sad, and spending all that time with Aunt Piper was a bit much.
Speak of the devil. Ella! Wait up! You can’t just go running off,
Aunt Piper whines at me.
Rolling my eyes, I don’t even glance back at her. The text messages I got earlier told me to head to the kitchen when I arrived, and that’s what I’m doing...Aunt Piper be damned!
It’s a good thing Dad and everyone here hasn’t decided to add thinking cuss words to the swear jar. This week alone, I would’ve lost all the money they’ve put in.
Well, hello, Speedy,
Uncle Adam comments as I dash pass the hostess stand. They haven’t started yet. They’re waiting for you,
he adds.
Hey, Uncle Adam! Thanks. FYI, Aunt Piper’s in a mood,
I tell him, sliding to a halt to wrap an arm around his waist, giving him a half hug before I continue on my way to the kitchen. His tosses the towel in his hand over his shoulder as his other hand pulls me into his side.
"When isn’t she in one? he whispers, hugging me back.
Before you start helping, Aunt Nessa sent a present for you. It’s hanging in the office."
She’s not here?
I ask, searching the dining room.
No, she’s at home since her part of set up is done. Plus, she wanted to rest because she’ll be doing more work tonight making sure the party goes off without a hitch.
Uncle Adam releases me, and I stare up at him, but he doesn’t give anything away. I know he and Aunt Nessa have been trying to have a baby, and it's been hard for them. I’ve overheard Dad talking about it, along with Nonna and Gramps. It worries
