Sitting upright in my bed, I pressed the 'call' icon on the phone, a grin covering my face.
This is so exciting!
It rang for only a second or two, before the boy's voice was heard from the speaker.
"Hallllo?"
"Hey," I said in a soft voice, silently chuckling at his greeting.
The change in his tone was evident, "oh, María.. is everything okay?"
"Everything is more than okay," I smiled, "guess what."
"What?"
"Wellll... my parents are letting me come with you to Gatlinburg!"
A heavy silence filled the call from line to line, and then he spoke up.
"No. Fucking. Way."
~Techno's POV~
I wanted to speak with contained happiness, but I couldn't hide the fact that I was overwhelmed with it.

•"So what're we doing there, you know, other than the whole wedding?"
I thought for a moment, realizing that I wasn't actually told what the plans for the trip were.
"Umm, to be completely honest, we'll be experiencing the unknown, together because I don't know either."
"Well at least we'll have each other."
I could hear it, I could hear it in the way she talked, she was smiling.
The world doesn't stop when someone smiles, but her smile stops mine.
So I repeated her words back to her, "at least we'll have each other."

"Why do you appear to be in such a good mood?"
Stopping, I noticed my sister standing in doorway of her room, staring at me.
I just smiled, continuing my walk downstairs.
She said my name a few times after that, but I payed her no mind, my enthusiasm not fading.
With a knock of my mother's office door, I paraded into the space, a triumphant expression on my face.
"What?" the woman asked with genuine curiosity and a hint of concern.
A sly grin beamed on my face like rays of the sun, "María can come."
Her smile was gentle, it had always been, but the look in her eyes were tired.
~Mrs. Billiam's POV~
Fully aware that I could just be in my head, the longer I held a gaze on my eldest, the more unsure I found myself to be.
"So... you haven't yet mentioned this to father, have you?"
With a serious tone to his question, it was clear he shared the same thoughts I did on the matter.
Even after a marriage of eighteen years, I wasn't positive how my husband would react to Techno bringing along María. Techno seemed to understand this as well.
I calmly replied, "no, son, I figured you wished not to inform him about your guest."
"That is," my eyes met his, "unless you want me to say something to him?"
