Just listened to Rain by Anthony Callea which told of their heartbreak over loosing their respective loved ones to better people.

Chapter Five: Let's Meet the Family

"Seth that song was perfect" said Alex. "I didn't think there were songs that could illustrate feelings so perfectly."

"Oh you'd be surprised I'm telling you. Anthony also has some other great songs. I'll show you later maybe."

"Yeah I'd definitely love that"

"Cool"

Just then Sandy walks outside and notices Seth and Alex.

"Hey you two" he said. "I want you both to come with me. You've got some stuff I knew you both to know."

"Well then c'mon' he said.

"We better do what he says" said Seth. "He can be pretty forceful when it comes to these kind of things.

"You're telling me. Come on Sethy, or we're gonna be late!"

"Sethy?"

"I'll explain later. Right now inside."

"Yes mam!"

Taking each others hands they walked inside. A few onlookers had the impression that the closeness implied the two were a couple but said nothing as yet. They were interested in what happened next between the young people.

Alex and Seth headed to where Sandy was. Also there was Kirsten in a vibrant blue dress which shone like the moon. She always took the time to make sure she looked beautiful. She was hosting the event so it was her responsibility to promote the magnificent image the Newport Group had gained through her consistency in the field.

Near her where two other characters who Alex knew well. The woman had short blonde hair and was dressed in a radiant floral gown and looked to be in her early fourties. She had a golden band most likely a wedding band on her left ring finger (the fourth finger from the thumb, next to the pinkie). The man also had blonde hair and was dressed smartly in a dull golden suit. He also had a ring on his left ring finger.

"Seth" she said nervously "these are my parents."
