sister.
“Ummm, hmmm,” Adrienne moaned.
“Whatever. You normally call and I was eating.”
“Don’t let us stop you,” Adrienne said.
“Sis, we were only concerned,” Pam said as she rolled her eyes at Adrienne. “No one in the family has heard from you since our Sunday dinner.”
“Let’s continue this conversation in the kitchen,” Madison said as she led her sisters into the kitchen. “Would you ladies like a sandwich?”
They both responded, “No.”
Madison grabbed a Sprite from the refrigerator then sat down and took a few bites out of her sandwich as her sisters sat watching her.
Adrienne cleared her throat a couple of times, stood up, and said, “I’ll be back. I need to use the bathroom.”
After she left the room, Pam started talking. “What’s going on, Madison?”
She took a sip of her Sprite. “Nothing at all. I’ve been working late.”
“Are you sure? Adrienne insists that something isn’t right with your relationship.”
“Adrienne needs to mind her own business.”
“Did I hear my name?” Adrienne asked as she took a seat.
Madison took the last bite of her sandwich. “That was quick.”
“It was a false alarm.”
Pam intervened. “I was telling her our concerns about her relationship.”
“And I was telling Pam, y’all need to stay out of my business,” Madison said.
Adrienne stood up. “If everything was fine, you wouldn’t be on the defensive.”
“Sit down, Adrienne. I’m with Madison, you need to chill.”
Adrienne frowned, but sat down. Madison felt bad about lying to them. After seeing how they acted, she knew it was too late to tell them the truth.
“Look, Ethan and I are fine. I’m missing him. He’s hardly ever here.”
Pam got up and took a Sprite out of the refrigerator. “Do y’all want one?”
Adrienne responded, “Sure.”
Madison held her can up.
Pam passed a drink to Adrienne. “ Madison, Gerald said Ethan has a four bedroom house in Plano,” Pam came out and said.
“How does he know that?” Madison said, feeling a knot form in the pit of her stomach.
Between sips, Adrienne added, “You know Gerald thinks he’s Inspector Gadget.”
Madison remained quiet. She felt her world crashing in on her.
Pam continued, “When will we be invited over for dinner?”
She wanted to crawl under the table. “I’ll have to check with Ethan. He’s in and out of town, so it’ll have to be a weekend he’s here.”
Adrienne stood up and threw her can in the trash. “We all want to get to know our new brother-in-law; so the sooner, the better.”
Madison was losing her patience. “It’ll be soon. I’ll call him tonight and then let everyone know.”
Pam looked at her watch. “It’s getting late and I have to drop off Adrienne off at the other end of town.”
They all stood up. They hugged each other. Madison walked them to the front door. Adrienne lagged behind.
“Pam, I’ll meet you at the car,” Adrienne said as she turned around and faced Madison. “Why isn’t any of his stuff in your bedroom?”
Madison was livid. “Why were you going through my stuff?”
“I wasn’t. I only wanted to see your reaction.” She turned and headed out the door. “Bye Sis.”
Madison didn’t respond. She could only imagine what was going through Adrienne’s mind.
I need to do something quick, Madison thought, that sister of mine is relentless.
Chapter 14
As he laid across his California king sized mattress layered in navy blue linen, Ethan decided to put his plan into effect. He planned on spending most of his free time with Madison. He sat up and picked up the phone from his nightstand and dialed her number. He laid on his back, waiting for her to answer.
“Hello,” she said.
“Hi, Sweetie. Are you all settled in?” he asked her.
“I sure am. Actually, I was about to call you.”
“Perfect timing.” His stomach had butterflies.
“I need to move some of my stuff over there as soon as
