A sequel to my 2018 story "The Recluse of 4B and the Waitresses". Part 11, Texas.

Sheldon and Sally were out for their usual Sunday lunch when they were interrupted by Sheldon's mobile phone.

"Excuse me Sally whilst I answer this. Hello, this is Dr. Cooper."

"Hello Shelly."

"Georgie! How are things at home in Texas?"

"Things are great Shelly, what are you doing on the 3rd of August?"

"Nothing planned, why do you ask?"

"I'm getting married that day, I hope that you and your Sally can make it."

"Congratulations Georgie, third time lucky? I am sure we can make it, send me the details."

Sheldon ended the call

"So Dr. Garcia, how would you like to come with me to Texas, your chance to meet more of my family?"

August 3rd in Texas, at the wedding reception.

"Hello Sheldon, welcome home to Texas."

"Hello Pastor Jeff, we meet at Georgie's wedding again."

"Let's hope this one lasts."

"Indeed. Pastor Jeff may I introduce my girlfriend Dr. Sally Garcia. Sally you will recognise the Pastor here from when he married Georgie and Alison earlier today. The Pastor is an old friend of the family, my mother works at his church. When I was a little boy he tried to introduce me to his imaginary friend but I was already an atheist by then."

"Pleased to meet you Sally, I have heard a lot about you from Sheldon's mother and sister."

"Nice to meet you, I want to hear more stories about Sheldon as a little boy."

"If you two ever decide to stop living in sin I would be happy to perform the wedding..."

Next day Sally and Sheldon returned home to California, as they climbed the stairs of the apartment building.

"Are you OK Dr. Cooper, you have hardly said a word to me all day as we travelled home."

"Sorry Dr. Garcia, I have had a lot on my mind since the wedding yesterday. Did you enjoy the wedding Sally?"

"Yes I did, it was good to meet more of your family Sheldon."

"How would you like to go to another wedding?..."

Six months later at the Atheneum Club

"Hello everybody, I am Dr. Sheldon Cooper, welcome one and all to my wedding to the wonderful Dr. Sally Garcia. A special welcome to our visitors from Florida and Texas. I would like to thank everyone who helped make today's wedding possible, especially Dr. Leonard Hofstadter and his wife Penny and Dr. Bernadette Rostenkowski-Wolowitz and her husband Howard. The story all started when I was locked out of my apartment and I was befriended by my neighbours Penny and Bernadette and their boyfriends Leonard and Howard..."
