“Excuse me.” 
“Can I help you with something sir?” 
Turning in a rage, “will you give the young lady that get wet, this money for me please?” 
“I am sorry Sir, but I cannot do that.” 
“Then kindly check and see if she has fainted or something, the length of time women takes to change.” 
“Sir, you don’t understand, the young lady left almost ten minutes ago.” 
“Was she badly hurt?” 

He tried to relax realizing, 'Jezell was right, the young lady makes me feel on edge, but why? Seeing her in the mall for the first time, when she collided into us, it was not planned it was an accident, she seemed to be in a hurry to get somewhere, but why were she smiling even when Jezell was rude by showing her the third finger. No one has ever gotten under my skin like that before and it irritates the hell out of me, then her running in front the car, I know it was not on purpose. I could see she was in pain but why didn’t she say something, someone else might have shouted at me because I was wrong, and why was I so ignorant, I didn’t even know it was her.’

I Love You Uncle Patch

While packing her few pieces of clothes, Margret noticed how beautiful the dresses were, resting the jewel box on top of the dresser and her makeup kit.

At the bottom of the bag, there was an album, Margret glimpsed at her and then took it out and opened it. The front page had a huge family photo, she was only about fifteen years back then.

Turning the pages, she saw the family but there were none of her. "The family didn't lie to us," she said while replacing the album in the bag, closed the door softly, and left.

"I wonder why she doesn't like photos," seeing the brothers in their uniform, "Are all her brothers' lawmen, the eldest is a police officer and one other, but there is one in the marine and the other in the regiment.

From what I observe today, her sisters-in-law love her and her brothers love their wives and those children have broken my heart

That child that was pleading to his mom to let her stay at their home, he seems very special to her, when he was following the car I felt we were doing an injustice to her family.

Now, where on earth did my family go wrong? Was I such a failure that Nevil, Gilbert, and Aaliyah have been scheming the business? Petal is another failure, the only one that hasn't disappointed me is Caleb. I know he made this sacrifice for his father, but she is beautiful, so why were the brothers shielding her?"

Hearing the door open, Margret wiped her face, "Honey are you alright? I was waiting for you by the pool," she heard Jonas say.

"I am alright, today was very heartrending, and I just wanted to take a rest before dinner."

"Honey, you wouldn't believe it, how the five of them were together fooling around by the pool. It is really nice seeing them together without any tugging and pulling. If only they had come with my grandchildren and my daughter-in-laws my family would have been complete."

"I am happy, just the thought that Petal's dowry is there waiting, I feel relaxed and that heavy burden is lifted. Now if only the three of them could get some help for their bad vices, our family will be happy. You know Margret, sometimes I wonder where we have faltered as parents. Seeing that child's family today I ask myself what it is that we didn't do that caused our children to be so deceitful and conniving?"

Lifting the bag from under the bed where mom pushed it, 'I thought mom was packing her clothes so why is it still heavy.' Opening the bag, seeing the album, ' Caleb remove the album then lifted the bag, 'It is still heavy, why is that?'

Turning the bag, feeling something shift, Caleb checked to see what was at the bottom, but there was no opening from the outside of the bag, searching the inside he felt an end unstick.

Removing the lid, but he keep glimpsing at her afraid if she wakes and find him. Seeing hundred dollar notes in piles lining the bottom of the bag, removing a few piles seeing there were two folders.

Hearing her moan, he replaced the folders and leveled the cash on top of the folders, just as she had it, and stick the lid back, just as she had it and he closed the bag quickly. taking the bag and secure it on top of the wardrobe so no one won't know she has any money in it.

Noticing his mom place her few things were on top of the dresser, she had also put a small table next to the window with a reading lamp, a chair and a small vase with a bunch of red roses.

It smell wonderful and she looks lovely in my bed. I wonder if she will sleep tonight after she had sleep so much.

Nevil had given his mom the small hand purse that was in his car. After dinner, before they left, they all came to his room hoping to speak with her.
