Jack parked the car at the property. Lisa almost couldn't wait to see her sister finally. Also it had been a long drive and they where both relieved to get out of the car. After they stepped out and Jack had stretched because of the long seat they heard a door opened.
"Lisa!" They heard someone calling. They looked in the direction it came from. The woman that came out ran to them. Of course it was Judy herself. Judy! "Lisa had recognized her voice immediately. They felt in each other arms. "Ow gosh, it is so good to see you!" Lisa said when they had released. Jack stood somewhat uncomfortable next to Lisa. You to! Judy had a big smile on her face. She hadn't feel good about not seeing Lisa for so long. Especially after she had promise last year to visit Lisa more. Seeing her now made her realize how much she had missed her older sister.
"Judy, this is Jack. Lisa pushed Jack a little bit forward to introduce him. Then Judy finally saw that Lisa was not alone. She had seen Jack in some pictures, but they had never met each other or heard his voice. "Hi!" She gave him a hand. Nice to meet you finally. "Likewise!", Jack responded with a smile. "Congratulations on your marriage" I am so sorry I couldn't be there at the party. "I was busy." Judy added. "Of course you were…." Lisa whispered silently. It was always the same excuse.
"Why don't you come inside?" Judy suggested. "I made the room ready for you two." Lisa began to take the bags out of the car. Jack took only a little bag with him, but Lisa's took two bigger bags with her. She gave Jack his bag and carried the other two themselves. "Let me take this one from you!", Jack offered helpful.
Judy walked before them. The door was on the side of the house. The first thing that stood out was that the house was very modern furnished. Firstly they came in a hall with the coat rack, several doors and the stairs to go upstairs. Judy walked upstairs where the guest room was. "This is your room", she pointed out to Jack since it was not unknown terrain for Lisa. It was not a big room, but it had a closet and a double bed. That was all they needed. The bathroom is over there she pointed to a door on the other side of the hall. They dumped their bags in a corner and followed Judy downstairs to the living room where they took place on the couch since there was so much to talk about. So how is it going with your married life, Judy asked curiously. She knew Lisa was still living at Fairfield apart from her husband Jack. "Yes it is fine. How is it going over here? That question leaded into a long conversation about how they where doing and family members etc. Things Jack could talk about. He watched Lisa. She sure seemed so happy to talk to her sister. "Yes, he is still working at Fairfield. I Guess Fairfield isn't Fairfield", Lisa laughed while talking about her staff. "I am so glad about that, I haven't seen him for so long! But maybe that is my own fault; she added silently and looked to the ground for a while. I am so sorry, I forgot. Can I get you something to drink? Judy asked? "Yes, a coffee please", Lisa answered. "Me to", Jack added. While Judy went to the kitchen, Lisa laid her hand on Jacks' and gave him a loving smile.
"So Judy, have you found somebody?", Lisa asked with a mischievous smile when Judy came into the living room again with the coffee. "Somebody who?" She pretended not to know where Lisa was talking about and putted the coffee cups on the table. "You know, a handsome man!" "No…." Judy tried to deny it and to put her face strait. But it wasn't believable enough for Lisa. No, but why are you smiling than? I know that smile. There is somebody, isn't there? Okay there is someone, Judy had to admit. It is a new colleague at the office, but….." "Has anything happened yet? I want details!" Lisa always wanted Judy to have someone to take care of her and to keep her mind off from working all the time. There are no details. I just like him and we talk a lot. And….." "And what?" Lisa tried to keep the conversation going since Judy seemed not wanting say more about it. "We went on a date a couple times" She bushed. "Want another coffee?"
After a couple hours catching up, of course Judy wanted to know about Heartland and the rest of the family, it was time for dinner. Judy had planned to make nice dinner for them. Ben would be there to. Right before dinner he came home followed by a girl with dark hair. "Hi aunt Lisa!, Hi Jack!" "Hey ben!, How are you doing?" Lisa gave him a hug. "Fine, this is Tara. My girlfriend." "Tara, this is my aunt Lisa and her husband". Tara gave them both a hand. "Nice to meet you, she said". "Dinner is ready", Judy called from the kitchen!
