Two days later.
The family gathering in Susan's mansion was already in full swing. The first to arrive was John, Catherine, and the twins together with the maids and drivers. Then Thelma and her entourage arrived fifteen minutes later. The last to arrive was Mike and Caroline. Everyone's attention was focused on the couple's arrival. They were the center of attention at that family event.
In fairness, Mike and Caroline put up a good show. They were talking and laughing with everyone...wearing a bright smile on their faces. They even smiled and laughed at each other just like yesterday once more.
