          Leaving out of her office with her phone glued to her ear, Gabby mentally groaned and rolled her eyes at the sound of her mother going on and on about her upcoming Thanksgiving dinner she hosts every year.

She enjoyed the whole idea of family coming together, but since her family was very judgemental and annoying at times, she wasn't too excited about the upcoming event.

She was cool with just having a dinner by herself in her own home alone with her dog.

Pulling her jacket closer to her body once the cool air of fall hit her skin causing goose-bumps to appear, she powered walked to her car listening to the sound of her heels clacking against the pavement.

Noticing her assistant making his way out of the building as well, she looked at him and they both locked eyes for a moment until he turned away and jogged over to his car seeming as if he was in a rush.

Hitting the unlock button to her ride, she opened her door and quickly got in to get away from the cold.

She hated fall, everything about the season erked her. The falling of the leaves and the temperature changes weren't pleasing to her whatsoever. She was more of a summer type of chick. She loved the greeness of the trees and grass and the pretty sunny-blue skies, not the cloudy, dull skies and dead trees cause it only matched her dull and boring life.

Putting her mom on speaker, she started her car and turned on the heat. Letting her car warm-up, she continued to listen to her mom babble on about basically nothing, but she didn't mind. She had other things on her mind and with her mama distracting her from it, it kinda kept her focus off of what was bothering her.

"Ma', do you know if Aunt Jessica is coming down?" She questioned curiously.

"Yes, I believe so. You know she loves seeing you and your sisters." Her mom stated excitedly. "I was talking to her the other day and she asked about you."

Yeah, just to be nosey and ask a million fucking questions. She thought in her head.

Her Aunt Jessica, was her moms oldest sister. They all loved her to death, but she was the most messiest and nosiest person alive. She had to literally know every little thing about one's personal life and it was annoying and with Gabby being thirty-two, single with no kids .. she always had to be in her business to ask why or when she was planning on settling down.

"Yeah, we love seeing her too." She lied. "And what did she say?"

"Oh nothing really, just asking how you were and asked about ya job and your love life."
