Judy ! He exclaimed as he ran towards me.
I smiled at him, relieved to see the little guy after the day I had.
I would be lying if I said I didnt find my work relaxing in some way.
At least Matt respected me and actually listened to me.
Ive been practicing my archery, he told me proudly Come look ! He pulled me along with him towards the archery set up and he grabbed an arrow from the quiver along with the bow off the ground.
I watched as he pulled the strings of the bow back and released the arrow ; it landed on the archery board almost hitting the target, but not quite.
However, it was a lot better than normal.
I smiled at the effort and clapped my hands.
That was a lot better, Matt, I praised.
Try lowering your shoulders just a little more though and aim slightly upward.
Matt grabbed another arrow from the quiver and did as I said, he lowered his shoulder and aimed slightly upward.
When he released the arrow, it flew thew the air at a rapid speed and the ni heard the thud as it landed directly on the bulls eye ! Matt cheered and the grin that spread across his face made my heart swell with pride.
Did you see that !! He cheered.
I cant believe I hit the mark !! I can, I told him with a chuckle.
I knew you could do it.met Thanks, Judy, he said, hugging me tightly.
I chuckled and patted him on the back.
We should get inside now and do some of your homework, I told him.
He nodded and put the bow and arrow away before following me into the house.
We sat in the parlor as we often did when we did his homework.
He grabbed his worksheets from the day and showed them to me.
As we started to work on the assignments, I heard the front doors opening and shutting.
Soon, Ethan and Irene could be seen outside the parlor doors.
Irene was holding a big bouquet of flowers and she was glowing as she peeked up at her fianc? .
Ethan, you didnt have to get me flowers, she gushed.
They are lovely.
Not as lovely as you, he said, leaning down and brushing his lips across hers.
I cant wait to make you Mrs.
Cash.
My stomach tightened at his words ; Irene wrapped her arms around Ethans neck and pulled herself close to him.
I love you, she murmured against him.
He didnt reply with words ; but he kissed her deeply, showcasing his love for her as well.
His eyes flickered over to me, seated on the couch and I saw them darken.
I swallowed the lump in my throat, knowing that he was putting on a show for my benefit.
He pulled away from Irene and brushed a strand of blonde hair out of her face, allowing his fingers to linger on her check for a second longer.
You are the best thing thats ever happened to me, he said, kissing the bridge of her nose.
Her cheeks turned bright pink, and a smile spread across her perfect lips.
I cant wait to marry you, my love.
The entire time he spoke to her, he was looking at me.
Judys POV
Oh, hey Judy, Irene said as she recovered from Ethans hold.
Her cheeks were flushed and that smile never left her lips.
She ran her fingers through her hair and gave me a sheepish look as she stepped into the parlor.
Matt lifted his gaze from his homework to look up at his sister.
How are things going in here? She asked, taking the loveseat across the room, Ethan sat beside her, his fingers entwined with hers.
They were all lovey dovey and close to one another.
I I wondered if she knew that he was over at my house last night while she was desperately trying to call him.
Great, just finishing up some Algebra, I answered, turning back to Matt.
I tried my best to ignore Irene and Ethan while he whispered sweet nothing into her ear, making her giggle.
I couldnt help but feel the annoyance creep up my spine.
I could feel Ethans gaze landing on me periodically, but I just straightened my spine and focused on my work at hand.
I brought some pastries, one of the maids said, walking into the parlor.
She sat a tray on the coffee table for us all to share.
Thank you, Maria, Irene said politely.
The maid nodded and left the room moments later.
The Ethan stood and walked over to the coffee table, lowering himself as he took a look at the pastries.
They were scones and small sugar cookies.
They admittedly smelled delicious.
He picked up a couple of cookies and brought them back to the loveseat he shared with Irene.
He draped a protective arm around her, and I watched as he brought the cookie to her lips, She smiled as she opened her mouth and bit into the cookie.
Gag, Matt muttered, rolling his eyes.
Cant you do that somewhere else? Irene frowned at him as Ethan wiped a crumb off the side of her lips, bringing his finger to his mouth and licking the crumb off his finger, his eyes lingeringon mine.
I pressed my lips in a thin line and glared at him ; he was doing this on purpose to get a rise out of me and I wasnt going to let it work.
You dont have to watch us, Irene snapped back.
She snuggled into Ethan who kissed the top of her head.
