Chapter 15. Dinner at the Bradshaws'

"Kay!" I heard my dad scream from the living room.

"Coming" I hollered back. I smoothened the front and sides of my dress and checked my hair, neatening my ponytail. I wore a simple dress and flats.

When I was satisfied with my look, I grabbed my small purse which contained my phone, my handkerchief, some lip balm -I didn't like dry lips- and a pack of pocket tissue wipes.

I didn't see why my parents were in such a hurry since the Bradshaws lived just opposite to us. We were literally just going to cross the street.

When I got downstairs, they were both ready and waiting for me. We left the house and I locked the front door and put the keys in my purse.

A woman in her middle ages opened the door for us. She had shoulder length blonde hair and blue eyes. She had on a warm smile as she opened the door.

"Oh hello,you must be the Summers. Please do come in"

"Good evening Mrs Bradshaw", we greeted her.

"Oh you can call me Ruth."
