lebrate this anniversary, their legacy to stand as strong as they did''. Penelope stopped and paused making eye contact with Patrick and said: “Now, go be merry”.
Amid the thunderous clapping, Penelope greeted her public shaking hands as she crossed the dancefloor. Taking her eyes off Patrick for one second to see that he is cuddled up to a Sophie Elis whose intentions were less than honorable. The only gossip that Penelope let herself listen to because it might dishonor her parents’ memories.
“Sophie, I thought you had a husband and a child…” “My family’s Black & Silver Ball can no longer be of use to you”. “Kindly, go away”. Penelope said never deflecting in tone, so everyone knew she was serious”.
“And you…” Penelope turned her attention to her brother. “Mom would roll over in her grave if she saw you were entertaining the likes of Sophie Ellis”.
“Chill out, I was just being gentlemanly”.
In this case, it's not “gentlemanly”, “It’s just stupid, and talking to her would get you a visit from her jealous husband” “Now, come meet Emma”.. Penelope said with finalization in her voice.
“Alright, Alright”. Patrick makes a leash out of his tie and hands it to his sister..
“What about you dear sister?”. “I can’t just let you roam this earth alone”. Patrick said sarcastically.
“Have you met Tommy Patrick?” Penelope stated.
“No I haven’t had the pleasure__- Patrick started to say
“Ease up bro”. Penelope said with her hand on Patrick’s chest.
“ Patrick, Tommy has been vetted by Daddy since we were seven”.
“You have it easy.”. “You have always been Dad’s favorite”. Patrick teased.
“No, our parents gave me the responsibility of you, and it’s damn right exhausting”.
“Go home, and soak your feet sis and please try not to worry”.
“It’s my right as a sister to worry, especially when my twin brother is seen with someone as “experienced” as Sophie Ellis”. “You aren’t about to be another lamb to her waiting slaughter”. Penelope paused and picked up her sentence. “ I won’t desecrate Mommy’s home with the company of a woman’s who is frequently unfaithful to each husband that looked or spoke in her direction.
Tommy was holding her shoes and she gave him a “I gotta stay here, it’s a family thing, raincheck?” loo
Tommy gave her a definite nod in the affirmative, kissed her on the cheek, and returned her shoes.
“Come on, let’s go Romeo”, Penelope grabbed his shirt and it was sweaty and crumbled
“Where did you go?”. Penelope inquired
“A gentleman never kisses and tells”. Patrick smiles.
“Eww, you’ve already told too much”. Penelope said
“You know you’re not supposed to use the sliver and white ball as your own personal orgy?”
“Why are you acting like a younger version of Hugh Hefner when I know you’re better than that? “., Pennelope questioned
“We can’t all meet our soulmates when we’re seven”. Patrick joked
“I don’t think he’s my soulmate”..Penelope said
“You’re a lot closer to whole than I”. Patrick admits
“Whole?”. “We lost our Mom when we were nine and now sixteen and we still don’t know where our Dad is.”.. Pennelope .lamented
“You just need to calm down and breathe, Daddy will show”/ Patrick reassured his sister.
She liked when Patrick was sensitive to her like that, it gave her hope that just maybe he was being picky because Pennelope was careful.
“I didn’t do anything except play Xbox with the kids because as you predicted Elis and her husband got into a fight because once again Ellis had been unfaithful, so there was no love lost between the two, but the children were very small. divorce can be traumatic for them, especially as Verdena's neighbors. would never be able to get out from under the weight of the sins of their parent's sins.
It was then that Patricwk began to feel his own power and appeared to Penneolpe as if Patrick was finally growing up, He would have wanted to stay before, but he had to and by the way, he hated, that this time he had to agree with Pennelope that Sophie was using Patrick to make her husband jealous.

Patrick excused himself from the children as he suddenly felt very sick and called Pennelope to pick him up from the hotel because while he wasn’t drunk, she was and Patrick was a good young man helping her return home to her children…
“I have a very bad feeling about leaving Sophie and her children on the heels of a drunken overly distraught man’..Patrick relayed to his sister.
“I love how kind you are Patrick, but you know, we can’t interfere”. Penelope stated
“They've got kids”. Patrick argued
“We can’t interfere”. Penelope repeated
