I put on my heels and Eddie's parents walk in. 

"Honey let me fix your tie for you." I say as i walk up to him and i fix his tie 

"Thank you, sweetheart." He says with the fake smile I've seen several times. 

I kiss his cheek leaving lipstick there 

"I'll leave that there for safekeeping" He laughs and it seemed so natural... It startled me. 

We both turn around he acts as if he didn't see his parents 

"Mama! Papa! Didn't see you there!" 

He hugs and kisses his mother and man hugs his father 

"Brianna, come meet my parents. Don't be shy." 

I walk next to Eddie and he grabs my hand, nearly squeezing it. 

"Hello!" I say as excitedly as I can 

"Oh, you married a beautiful beautiful girl! Perfect hips for carrying my grandchildren!" 

Eddie and I are both startled by her statement 

"Ella. they are newlyweds, the/y probably aren't worried about children right now." 

"Oh shush Edward." 

I nearly snickered and Eddie holds my hand tighter... I examine my inlaws. My father-in-law was an older man, old enough to have a full grey beard. He wore a white long sleeve t-shirt and his build was like a younger man. His pants were grey slacks and he wore grey "Church" shoes. My mother-in-law had curly hair, slicked back. She wore a white blouse with a grey jacket and skirt to match with black red bottom heels. Eddie and I matched as well. He wore a white button-down shirt, black suit, and red-bottom shoes. I wore a black dress with white flowers on it, it was body con and short

Ella: So, how did you two meet?

Eddie smiles and says "well we met 2 years ago, she was walking home from work and I saw her a knew she was the one. I ate at the Diner every day."

"You know a girl just went missing from a diner." my heart nearly beats out of my chest.. when I respond. 

"Oh really? Which one?" Eddie nearly breaks my hand and he takes a huff of air 

"B's Diner I believe it was called.. Eddie didn't your old wife work there... Gianna?"

"DON'T TALK ABOUT HER!" He lets my hand go and swings his arms knocking me to the ground. 

he picks me up 

"Sorry sweetheart, I get angry sometimes about her."

I stand up with his guidance, he nearly snatches me off the ground.

"Mama. Papa. I will reschedule this dinner for another day. Me and Brianna have a business to attend to."
