The Engagement Party.

The party did not have too many people and only had people that were close to the two families, so there weren't that many unfamiliar faces. Hellen immediately whisked the couple away, and she took them to where Diane was standing with her son.

"You came?" Jen said in surprise as she went to hug her little brother. She had asked him to attend but only replied vaguely, so she assumed that he wouldn't be able to come. Seeing him now, she felt a bit emotional and a big smile graced her face.

"I had to surprise you," Jake said with a chuckle. The smiles of the two siblings were very similar, even though Jake had his mother's eyes and hair. 

"Mmmh," Jen responded and furiously blinked her eyes as she pulled away from him. She didn't catch a breath before her own mother pulled her in for a hug. It wasn't casually and Jen felt the weight of that hug as she had seen her mother's expression earlier.
