Chapter Six
You are cordially invited to dine with Mr Carter and company
I felt bad, worse than bad, there had to be some way for me to regain her
trust. That was it. stand up to my friends. I brilliant idea popped into my
head. I have one word for you Jamie 'Dinner'.
Eddie had been so sweet. He never asked me what happened yesterday. When I
tried to tell him, he just whispered in my ear "I trust you Jamie Elizabeth
Sullivan". I smiled and took his hand. I closed my eyes and leaned against
Eddie, his arms supported me.
When I opened my eyes he (Landon) had the nerve to be standing in front of
me with an unreadable look in his eyes.
'Okay', who the hell was this guy? Why was his arms wrapped around Jamie? I
didn't like him and I couldn't stand the fact that she looked so peaceful
in his arms.
She looked up at me, and was surprised to say the very least.
"You", she said softly.
"Me", I held out the card I had, had made up for her.
He held out a card towards me and I asked, "What is it?"
"I got you something."
He held out the card again and this time I took it and said, "Thank you."
e.
As I read the card, my pulse was pounding in anticipation, Eddie leaning
over my shoulder;
You are cordially invited to dine with Mr Carter and company, in the first
class dinning cabin.
'He actually wants me to dine with his friends. Oh Landon.I guess you're
forgiven, you're not ashamed to be my friend.'
"Well.I'll see ya later."
I knew he was anticipating my answer, it was his way of asking if things
were all right between us. I nodded my head and said, " 'kay."
Then Eddie nudged me and I remembered.
"Wait I can't go unless my fiancé is allowed to join us?" I called after
him; my heart had a sinking sensation.
"Of course, he is invited to."
He turned to leave again when Eddie called after him, "We have nothing to
wear, therefore I don not think it is best if we join you". I was shocked.
Eddie was giving Landon a challenging look, like they were about to fight,
that sinking feeling was returning to me.
"I insist that you both attend," 'because that's the only way Jamie can
come, and I can prove to her I am truly sorry', "As for your clothes,
Maxwell here (pointing to a young man) will show you both to changing
rooms, where you will find a selection of outfits to choose from".
I smiled and turned around to leave once more when Jamie's soft voice
said "Thank you Mr Carter". All I could do is walk away, with a sinking
feeling in my stomach. She was engaged.no, she can't be. she never told me
that.she just can't, but then again so was I.
