As we entered Tony's I was immediately noticed by the hostess, Katherine.

"Ah, it's been forever since I've seen you!" She practically yelled.

"Silly, it's been like eight-hours, I saw you this morning at Bible Study." I replied walking behind the hostess desk to embrace the girl who had been my best friend since we were in diapers.

"Still alot can happen in that time!" She said.

You're telling me, I thought, my mom's family friends appeared out of nowhere, and now we are going to have dinner with them, where they have quite a bit of explaining to do.

"Speaking of, who's this and why haven't I met him before?"  Katherine said as I walked back over to Ben.

"This is Benjamin, and we are late for dinner with our parents. So would you mind telling us where you seated them?" I said, trying to distract her from her current path of questioning.

"Parents?" Katherine said with her eyebrows raising so high I thought they may pass all the way to her headband. I couldn't even imagine where her mind was wandering.

"Katie..." I said hoping to quell her curiosity for the time being.

"Fine," she said, faking a hurt look since I shut her down. "They're in the back room." she said with obvious disappointment in her voice.

"Thanks." I replied, starting toward the back of the restaurant.

Katherine stopped me as we walked past, grabbed my arm, and whispered, "You're calling me tonight."

"Bye, Katie." I replied with a slight grin as I continued walking toward the answers to my questions from the past few hours.
