Chapter 4
"Fran do you happen to know what Joseph looks like?" he questioned as they headed down the stairs.
"Well he's about 5'10" with uh brown eyes and um light brown hair. Oh and he has like a beard outlining his face." Fran said as she tried to recall what Joe looked like from the pictures she had seen.
"You mean like that?" Maxwell asked pointing over to Gracie and her friend.
"OH MY GOD!" Fran screamed as she looked over. "GRACIE! Who is that!" Fran questioned.
"Oh um Mom, Dad, this is my friend Joseph. He's in my theatre production class at school," Gracie said while looking at Joe. When she looked back at Fran and Maxwell she saw that this was not going to go well so she turned to whispered something to Joseph. But Joseph cleared his throat and began to speak before she could.
"Um I think I better get going," Joseph began then turning to Gracie, "I'll see you tomorrow at school?" Gracie walked him to the door. Fran and Maxwell watched their every move.
"Yeah I'll meet you by your locker," she sighed.
"Okay, then until tomorrow," Joseph said and quickly gave her a tight hug.
Fran was frozen looking at what just happened. Maxwell was getting quite angry thinking of what his daughter might do with that boy, who very well might be her brother!
"Grace? May we have a word with you please?" Maxwell asked trying not to let his anger show. Gracie looked from Maxwell to Fran not really sure if she should go, but when she saw the frightened look on Fran's face she decided it would be best to talk with them.
"Is everything okay Mom and Dad?" Gracie asked.
"How much do you know about Joe? I mean really know about him?" Fran asked not quite sure if she wanted to believe her child was just in her house.
"Well I know that..."
