Thank you she said smiling warmly at me. There were already a lot of people that have arrived at the venue. The media was interviewing some and they took pictures of others.
This was a political gathering and I am sure Mum wanted me present because the unity of our family would make lots of impression on people.

Ray," Mum was the first person that welcomed me. She pulled me into a hug.
I am so happy you change your mind," Mum said letting go of me. "Thank you so much, Bella," she also pulled Bella into a hug.
Good! I just showed Mum she could use Bella to get to me. Bella did not say anything but she gave Mum a polite smile. Dad joined just in time.
