She stepped out of the car and grabbed her purse. She had to park a ways
away from the door because the restaurant was so packed. Alley was in a
hurry cause she was running late. She glanced across the street and waited
til it was clear and ran across the street. Alley reached into her purse to
make sure she didn't mess up her make up all that bad. She never did get
the hang of it, but Sean loved it when she wore it. Alley thought that she
should try to fix things so that Sean would forgive her about not telling
him sooner that she had feelings for Gabe. She applied more lipstick and
shut her mirror. She placed it back in her purse and bumped into someone.
"Oh I'm sorry." She said.
"That's ok." The voice sounded so familiar. Alley looked up to see who she had bumped into and realized he looked almost identical to Gabrielle! It couldn't be she thought. She had to stop staring. She had to leave.
"Excuse me." She said as she walked past this stranger. She turned around to take another glance at him only to realize that it wasn't whom she had saw before. It was merely and elder couple getting into their cars she had passed. This re-assured her that she was just daydreaming. "I've got to get over this." She fixed her dress and walked in. Sean waved his hand to indicate where they were sitting at. As she was approaching the table she noticed an elder female; that must be his boss she thought.
"Alley this is Mrs. Anderson, Mrs. Anderson this is my girlfriend Alley."
"Nice to meet you, I love that necklace, is that a real ruby?"
"Yes, yes it is. An old friend of mine gave it to me."
"Must be some friend to give such an extravagant gift, it looks hand made."
"Yes, thank you very much." Alley said as she was sitting down. Sean noticing that as a result of Alley wearing that necklace it had sparked some interest in his boss, it made him furious.
"Ok, well so what shall we have for dinner?"
"You know my son was quite the jeweler. We would go camping and he would find the prettiest stones and he'd make me necklaces and bracelets all the time."
"That's amazing..." Alley said before Sean interrupted her.
"Would you like some wine Mrs. Anderson? They have your favorite."
"I don't feel like drinking any wine tonight. Thank you anyways. Gabe doesn't like me to come home all blistered up." Alley's eyes grew wide and then she just shook her head. She felt as if she was seriously loosing it.
"I'm sorry, is that your husband's name?"
"Why no, my husband and I are divorced. Gabrielle is my son."
"Oh I'm sorry." She said.
"That's ok." The voice sounded so familiar. Alley looked up to see who she had bumped into and realized he looked almost identical to Gabrielle! It couldn't be she thought. She had to stop staring. She had to leave.
