Chapter Twenty-one
The rest of the day was a blur, before I knew it we were flying back to the mainland. We were greeted by a smiling Kristin and Brad. Apparently, the kids were fine and asked them for presents the second they got to the hospital.
"Guess what?" Kristin says practically flying out of the car. I suddenly remember how much I miss her energy when she isn’t around.
"What?" Preston asks trying to act just as excited. Gotta love a guy who plays along even when he knows it’ll be a huge let down.
"I just heard that Brad and Angelina are visiting Boise this week! Isn't that amazing?" She looks at both of us not understanding the expression on my face at all.
"Oh wow, you don't say?" I make eye contact with Preston, but he just smiles back as if to say, “Ha, Ha. Joke's on you”.
"Anyway, I just thought it was cool. You guys ready?" Kristin asks, grabbing one of our bags.
We follow her for a few minutes before I turn to Preston and ask, "What’s the plan?"
He winks and smiles, "Oh, just a quiet dinner downtown. Nothing huge."
I nod my head.
"Oh," he interjects quickly. "And your Angelina dress for the evening is already picked out. I went for black again. Hope you don't mind."
I rolled my eyes and smiled. "Challenge accepted," I find myself saying as I grab his hand and head for the car.
