The big shot was swamped with work. After our wedding night, I never saw Shaun again.
Today, my best friend's brother was holding an engagement banquet, so I came along for a free meal.
Shaun was the guest of honor.
There he comes, walking over all prim and proper, like he's some upstanding gentleman.
I froze on the spot, not daring to lift my head.
I asked Katie, "Are your two families very close?"
She wiggled her eyebrows at me playfully.
"Not really. My mom said he's here to thank our family for the braised beef stew we sent over for his last birthday banquet."
'Braised beef stew?'
'No way, that can't be right?'
As he drew closer, my heart was pounding so hard I almost felt sick.
"Hello, Uncle."
With that one greeting from Katie, I suddenly got bumped up a generation too.
