I hurried for the door. “Well, don’t you look nice,” Mom said, beaming at me as I came out into the hall. Of course, she had gotten to the door before me. I tried not to feel mortified.

They intended to use all our rainy-day money, including my college fund, which was the bulk of their savings.

Jordan tightened his grip on the cup in his hand, and after a moment of silence, he let out a long sigh. "Let's go." Reid nodded and, on his way to Allen's study, he briefed Jordan on the situation. "Grandpa said that tomorrow is your coming-of-age ceremony when you turn eighteen. He wants you to make an appearance in front of the public.

On this very special day, I already had Courtney's birthday present well figured out and as always, I was so certain she'd love what I had got her. Courtney was a very elegant young girl who adored fashion and always wore tight-fitting mini gowns that could barely fit anyone her age.
