Chapter 4: Arrival
Two days later, on Wednesday night, Eric pulled up to Calleigh's apartment and helped her load her luggage into the back of the car next to his. His mom lived in Miami, but they planed on staying over night so that they could help with preparations in the morning. Eric was also taking Calleigh to meet some of his other relatives who lived in the area. They would be coming back on Friday night or Saturday morning, depending on how things went.
Once he and Calleigh were all set, he pulled out of the lot and began the short drive from Calleigh's Apartment to His mom's house on the other side of town. Thirty minutes later he pulled the car into the driveway and he and Calleigh walked side by side up to the front door. He looked at Calleigh as he rang to doorbell. A moment later they were greeted by Eric's mom. She was a small woman in her early to mid fifties. She had a tan complexion and dark hair, just like Eric. She even had the same bright smile. Eric was definitely his mother's son. "Hi, mom." Eric said, stepping through the door and giving her a hug. "This is my friend Calleigh Duquesne. Calleigh this is my mom." "Oh. It's so nice to finally meet you. Eric talks about you all the time." Eric's mom said smiling. Calleigh looks surprisingly at Eric out of the corner of her eye "It nice to properly put a face to a name." "Same here." Calleigh replied, still a little surprised.
A little while later, they sit down to a beautiful dinner and spend much of the evening talking about work, family, among other things. Around eleven o'clock, Calleigh excused herself and began getting ready for a good night sleep and set out her things for the morning while Eric and his mom continued catching up with each other.
