The Jeep Wrangler pulled on the parking lot of Tucker's General Store, just as Matty was walking down the outside stairs, with shopping bags in hand.
"Probably lost," she chuckled to herself, as she glanced at the vehicle.
"Matty?"
Matty stopped and stared at the vehicle for a moment. The passenger door opened and a blonde woman appeared.
Matty put the grocery bags on the ground and held out her arms.
"Nina."

Nina ran around the Jeep and hugged Matty.
"It is so nice to see you."
Matty kissed her cheek.
"What are you doing here? I didn't expect to see you this quickly."
Nina smiled, as she walked back toward the Jeep. A handsome man was helping a young boy out of the backseat.
Nina picked up the young boy and walked back toward Matty. The man followed.
"Matty. This handsome young man is my son, Colin."
Matty tickled the boy's cheek.
"Well aren't you a cutie."
She kissed his cheek.
"My name is Matty."
"Isn't that a boy's name?"
Matty laughed.
"My real name is Matilda. Matty is my nickname."
Colin smiled.
"I like Matilda."
Matty looked at Nina.
"He is a adorable."
Nina had a strange look on her face.
"Did I do something wrong?"
Nina just shook her head, looking at Colin.
Matty turned to the man.
"This hunk must be your husband, Nick."
