The Brides sister

The Blue horizon bungalow was bustling . It was the engagement party of Jessica Miller. The Millers were old money and rather nice people despite the money. They were a close knit family and mostly everyone in the community were going to be at the party. Sarah was dragging her luggage up the cobblestone paved on their front yard. She remembered the number of times she had scraped her knees on this thing when she was a kid. Sarah Miller did not look ,feel or behave like a heiress. She was the adopted younger siblings and she felt like an imposter in the Miller home. She was working her way through college and dreaded social events such as this one. It was Jessica's engagement party and there was no way she could weasel her way out of that.Sarah quickly dumped her luggage in her room and fount out that Jessica was with the stylist. Sarah quickly slipped on a pastel blue dress got her curls up in a messy bun and ran up to meet her sister. Jessica was tall with dark brown hair very blue eyes and the body of a super model. She caught Sarah's reflection on her mirror and gave a quick smile. "Is this what you're wearing ?", asked Grandma Anne in a disapproving tone.Sarah sighed internally nothing she wore, nothing she said was ever good enough for Gramy. "Which of these shades go better Grammy? ", quickly asked Jessica saving her temporarily. Sarah caught her eye ,as if saying a quick thanks and scampered away to the conservatory. The conservatory was Sarah's favorite place in the entire mansion. It was humongous and covered the entire length of the mansion. It had a huge variety of plants and the structure was a fashioned like a glass cathedral. Sarah was at home in this ridiculous sun room more than any other place in the house. She was checking on her succulents , she had them in cute clay animal pots and they were like her pets.Thats when Sarah realized that she wasn't alone there. She turned to see a man walking up to her. If she weren't the super self conscious person she was she would have thought that he was staring at her. She had never seen this person before ,he was well over six feet ,very well built, all suited up. " Hi ,am Palmer . You are ? " , started of Palmer. Palmer ,oh Jessica's fiance thought Sarah to herself. She had seen his photo but hadn't recognized him.Photos did not do justice to his presence. "Hey am Sarah. Am sure you have heard of me from Jess ", said Sarah smiling and trying to warm up to her future brother in law. However she honestly didn't know how to keep the conversation going after that. It looked like Palmer didnt know either.He seemed uncomfortable somehow. Nervous about the engagement,thought Sarah but that didnot make sense. Its just that she hadn't met him in person Jessica had pretty much painted the picture of a young successful cool business man. Not someone who looks flustered about an engagement party. "What's going on here ?", asked Ishan walking up from behind Palmer.Ishan was Palmer's best friend and partner. He eyed Sarah appreciatevely. Sarah was five feet , black curly hair and pretty chubby. She had something about her that made her endearing and when she smiled it was hard not to stare. Sarah was glad someone had come to put an end to that awkwardness. Palmer introduced the two to each other. Ishan was trying to get past Palmer and closer to Sarah but Palmer stubbornly stood in the way. "I like him",said Ishan pointing to a turtle planter with succulents for shell. " Very cute ,like you", said Ishan to Sarah wasting no time at all. "Sarah probably needs to be upstairs ", said Palmer giving her a way out. Sarah was only happy to oblige and left the conservatory. She thought her brother -in law very sweet and old fashioned,first for being a bundle of nerves about the engagement and second for trying to protect her from Ishan 's compliments.Sarah decided that she was going to like her new brother very much and was overjoyed for her sister.
