Chapter 4
We all sit there awkwardly, avoiding each other's eyes.
"Where's Archer and Carter?" Rob ask the caramel haired boy whose name, I found out,
is Jace.
"They're not hungry," he replied.
"Oh, this is Jace, my son. Melissa, Jace. Jace, Chloe," Rob introduce us. "Your son?" I question. Why am I only finding out about this now? "Yeah, didn't your mom tell you?"
I glance at mom and she sends me a sheepish smile.
"Of course, I did! Chloe, you remember Jace, Rob's son, the one I told you about." Mom smile at me, trying to get me to play along with her.
I give in. "Right. I remember now."
"Okay. Let's eat," Rob announce. We all grab our utensils and start eating.
After we all finish eating, mom and Rob wanted to share something so Jace and I sit still in our seats waiting for them to speak.
Rob sends mom a knowing grin before they both announce out loud in sync, "We're getting married!"
I let out a sarcastic laugh, "You guys are hilarious." They both look at me.
"Chloe. We're getting married. Rob proposed to me last week," mom explained. My smile turned into a line as I stare at mom in disbelief.
Seconds past before I can finally register it into mind.
