A Unique Connection

Chapter 4

This is a pic of the dress Rhea wears to see Kyle and the band.

Her friend and sister didn't talk to her much after they found out. No matter how much their silence bothered her, she got welcomed into Kyle's band and was the lead trumpet and background singer. continued to go through her days and meeting with Kyle and his band occasionally to talk about future gigs and songs they would perform. The only time Catherine and Nicole did talk to her was when she was leaving to see Kyle.

"It's not fair to him that you're leading him on like this!" Nicole would yell while Catherine nodded alongside her. "So what if you don't like him? He obviously likes you! And he doesn't know that you're engaged!" It was almost becoming too much to hear every single time, but she knew that they were just looking out for someone that they've known for most of their lives. "I know, I know. I'm seeing him again tonight and I'm telling him about the engagement then, happy now? Can we forget about this now?" Rhea said as she picked up her bag and pulling on a light sweater.

"Where is your fiance anyway? The only we know about him is his name. Why will you never talk about him, why don't you ever wear your ring, and does he even know about Kyle?" The last of Rhea's resolve faded away before she could stop herself. "There is nothing to know! I'm handling it the way I think is best! Again, I am telling Kyle today so there is nothing to worry about. And I don't wear my ring because I lose everything and I know that I'll find a way to lose this! And I can't, I can't lose it because Jonah has been nothing but amazing through this whole process, so now I need to do something for him when he comes to meet everyone. So please, please, just let me handle this. I have this under control." Without waiting for their response, she quickly walked out the door and ran to her car.
