Dereks POV
My whole family sat next to me. Liz and Edwin knew what was going on. Oh and of course Marti. I could never hide anything from her. So here we sat. I would not let us start til she got her. I had also invited Sally. Mom and dad didn't know that it was over so they had made us sit together. She smiled at me a leaned over to my ear.
"I can see her coming. Could you chosen a brighter yellow?"
I beamed." Just like two years ago."
My mom jumped up to envelope Casey in a hug as soon as she neared. Their hug lasted forever. Then the rest of the family took their turns. Mom held Sara in her arms.
"Case, this is your sister."
After a while everything calmed down and everyone was sitting.
Sally stood up. "I think this is my cue to leave ,Derek," she turned to me "you are very lucky. Do not mess this up." Then she kissed me on the cheek.
"Care to explain" Nora said grabbing her hand.
"Oh, yah. That might be a good idea. I am not the one for Derek. I have always known. But I was kidding myself. I was always competing."
"Don't be silly" George said.
"No, I was not. But I am okay with it. Casey," she said turning to me "Do not walk out this time."
