Chapter 4
Her Angel
"Get control of yourself, Teresa. You need to remember you have priorities! You have a beautiful son waiting for you at home." She wiped the tears from her eyes. She was ready to put to car in drive when out of the blue...
"Hey, are you alright in there?" The man said tapping at her car window. He was trying to see in when the window rolled down.
"I'm ok, no need to worry." Teresa's voice was shaking. The man had scared her half to death.
"I'm sorry to have scared you then." He looked at her again. He could swear he knew her from somewhere, but how could he ever forget a face like that?
"Do I know you? You look very familiar?" Wow, she's beautiful!
"No, I don't think we've met before." She said shyly.
"Well, then, my name is Nicholas Foxworth Crane, but my friends call me Fox."
"Oh", dear God she thought, I can't get away from the Crane's no matter how hard I try.
"Nice to meet you, too." Fox said sarcastically. "Look, if you sure you're ok I'll be leaving."
She felt bad, "I'm sorry, I've had a extremely rough day today. Pardon my manners. My name is Teresa Lopez-Fitzgerald." She reached out her hand. "It's nice to meet you Fox."
Taking her hand in his, "So your the one and only Teresa, huh? I've heard a lot about you."
"I'm sure nothing good, if it came from any of your family."
"Oh, don't worry, they ignore me and I ignore them. Besides, you seem harmless enough to me."
"Look, I should be going, I have a son waiting at home for me. I promised him we would go for an ice cream down on the wharf."
"Could I invite myself?"
"Well..."
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been so forward. It's just I have only been in Harmony for a few days now. I don't really have any friends here, my family doesn't now I exist and most importantly, I have yet to meet my little brother." Please say yes, he thought to himself.
Teresa smiled, "When you put it like that how can I say no? I'm heading back to the Crane estate. I'm living in Sheridan's old cottage. How about you meet me there in about an hour?"
"Sounds great, I wouldn't miss a date with a beautiful lady any day. See you in a little while."
He turned and walked off. Teresa rolled up her window and as she went to put her car in park she caught a glimpse of something strange in her rearview mirror. She did a double take. Ok, Teresa, you're loosing it, she said to herself. She proceeded to put her car in park and as she drove down the road to the mansion she thought about what she saw in the mirror and about her prayer. Send me an angel, God, she had said. She sighed, "No, Teresa, you're just seeing things, men just don't go around wearing halos everyday."
