Chapter 66: Will They Like Me?

For what felt like the thousandth time, Jenny checked her reflection in the bathroom mirror. After mucking out the old hay and putting fresh feed in the stalls, she’d returned to the house to shower and get ready to meet Cole’s family.

Wanting more than anything to make a good impression, she’d donned the only dress she had, the white one with tiny purple flowers that Cole had gotten for her. She’d also braided her red hair over her right shoulder, the way Cole seemed to like it.

Cole was outside preparing the grill for the steaks they’d be having for dinner. But Jenny wasn’t sure she’d be able to eat. She felt queasy with anxiety, knowing they’d be arriving any minute.
