Norman & Page

Dinner with the Page family

Jace

I took a shower and put on something casual. When I went downstairs, Glory and Xan were waiting for me.

"You ready?" Glory asked me. 

I looked away not wanting to answer her. I am NOT in the mood. How can I enjoy any dinner when all I can think of is my angel?

"Come on bro don't be like that" Xan said mocking me.

"Let's just get this over with," I said irritated.

"You better not behave like that at the dinner" Glory warned me.

"Sure" I replied sarcastically and followed them out.

When they didn't get in the car and continued to walk, I was confused.

"Guys, aren't we going to the dinner?"

"Yes, we are" Xan replied.

"So, why aren't we taking the car?" I asked wondering if they are trying to trick me.

"Cuz they live across the street little bro," Xan said.

"Across the street?" I asked puzzled.

"Yup, now come on, we are going to be late" Glory said and walked to a house across the street. She rang the doorbell and waited.

"I hate this house and I hate this dinner" I muttered under my breath earning glares from both my brother and sister.

A woman opened the door with a wide smile.

Kerry Page

"Hey kids, come on in" she invited us in.

"Thank you Mrs. Page," Glory said and my heart skipped a beat.

Did she just say, Mrs. Page? Isn't Charlotte's last name Page? Is this her house? My heart raced.

"Jace, why are you standing there?" Glory said bringing me out of my trance and gave me a death glare.

"Oh uh sorry" I smiled politely and followed them.

"So, how is your mom Glory?" Mrs. Page inquired.

"You know my name?" Glory asked surprised.

"Of course I know all of you, Glory, Xander, and Jace," she said pointing to each one of us.

"You have a lovely home Mrs. Page" Glory complimented.

"Oh please call me Kerry," Mrs. Page said.

She took us to the living room.

"Welcome kids" Mr. Page welcomed us with a hug.
