Starting Over

I had three pairs of eyes staring at me. I could hear Wes walking behind me. "Nan? Do you know them?"

I stood still. I was going to throw up. "Hey Nan." Rush whispered. I nodded and just stood there. Wes's hand was on my back and then he spoke.

"Hi I'm Wes. The boyfriend. And you are?" he reached his hand out for a handshake. Rush went up to shake it and answered "Her brother."

I knew Wes could feel that I went stiff. He looked at me but I kept looking straight. "That..that's impossible Nan is an only child." He said.
