" Before we go further, I need to tell you something, Ellie ", Gabriel said with a serious tone. I looked at him carefully studying his body language and I would lie if I said that I wasn't afraid of what he might say.
" I ... I'm not only here for business, Ellie. Your mother called me a few days ago. She told me about your father's engagement party, she asked me to be your plus one and I ... I accepted ", explained Gabriel.
For a second I thought he was going to announce something really bad to me but as soon as I heard that my mother called him to ask him to be my date for this engagement thing, well, it's worse but I wasn't even surprised. My mother tends to meddle in what doesn't concern her, she is also a control freak, everything must go as she planned it and she always wants to have a say in every situation in our lives whether it concerns her or not. Unfortunately for me and Helene, we inherited her worst side.
