A week later
Engagement party.
The mayor's son returned as planned, and his dad rushed to arrange his engagement party with Tricia, though they had yet to see each other; today would probably be the first day they would get to see one another.
As it was gossiped, the mayor's son is the crazy type, and a playboy who's after everything in a skirt. So people, Bethel only called him a crack to escape the marriage. She hadn't even seen him; only a few of the mayor's friends knew him well enough since he traveled out to study when he turned fifteen. Since then, it is rumored that he's refused to come back even for a visit.
The hall was filled with people of all kinds. The two coming together in marriage is something that would get the media talking. Anna could be seen seated between Adams and his mom, while Theresa and her kid sat beside them except for Tricia, who sat beside her dad. Well, after what happened that night, Tricia had refused to say a word to her mom or her siblings.
