Thought, this romance is also important. Hopefully as things slow down ill be able to upload more. As usual, your input is greatly appreciated =]
Chapter 7
Annie sat down to a cup of coffee at Grace's while she waited for Matthew. Today was do or die time. She had to find out what her future held, and whether Matthew was part of it or not.
Matthew appeared around the corner and spotted Annie. She was so beautiful. He'd been in love before, been engaged even. But no women had made him feel like a nervous school child again. Did that mean something?
"Hello Annie, hope your day was good."
"It was thank you. I started reading the childrens papers about your mother yesterday, and Friday their papers are due from Mayor Slicker, then this coming Monday Miss Jennings joins us."
"Sounds like you have it all planned out. I'm really looking forward to the gathering at the end. The town always loves a good party" Matthew smiled an started eating his pie that Grace sat down.
Annie giggled to herself. Matthew always ordered apple pie no matter what when he was at the café. She found it a cute little child move, yet attractive.
"So, I sent an inquiry to see about an extension on your loan. Now, from what I gather, this is your fathers loan. He gambled, and lost everything, but someone loaned him money then, I'm not sure, called it in immediately? Some details are still vague."
Annie put her head down. She knew in order to get the proper help she had to tell him everything. But would he look at her the same way when he knew?
"Ok, let me see if I can help."
