"Yes, Liz, will you rack up those dresses please?"
Hurrying to do as she was asked, not wanting the Young Master to get angry, but he seemed to be in good spirits compared to how he was earlier. "Are we having a guest, Sir?"
"Yes Liz, Miss Wayman will be staying for the weekend."
Happy to hear that the visitor who was here two weeks ago has returned. "Oh, that is so good the children like her a lot. They will be so happy when they see her. Did you know Sir, they don't like everyone that visits the mansion?"
Liz got scared when she saw how he started pinching his brow, she knew from past experiences when that happens he always misbehaves. 'Oh God, why did I open my big mouth.'
"Liz, Miss Wayman is not here to babysit. And try to keep your children quiet, their crying irritates me a lot."
Shocked by his response and behaviour which normally never happened. He is a bit too calm although he is angry. Liz just said quickly, "Yes Sir, I am so sorry, I will keep them out of your way."
Two hours later Train sits quietly, glad for the peace as he relaxes while waiting for Shawney to come down to go for dinner.
Reflecting on the conversation they shared when they went riding. 'She mostly relates what Dr. Joseph had discussed with her concerning Torren's treatment and his health. Not once did she reveal anything about her plan or mention anything about my proposal to her.'
"I know I must be patient with her, and if I push her too fast she might leave. I must be thankful for whatever assistance she is offering. Especially with him still adjusting to his returning home after two years. And to help him with his anger problem and how to keep it intact and under control."
When Carl spoke Train was startled, "Are you going out to dinner Dad and who were you speaking with a second ago?"Carl asks looking to see who was the visitor. He became confused when he realized that his Dad was speaking aloud.
Being caught off guard Train hoped Carl didn't hear exactly what he said allowed. Having no choice he avoided the question with a broad smile on his face.
With a pleasing smile on his lips, he took a few seconds to admire the way his precious son was looking so handsomely and said.
"Yes son, it is Valentine's Day and a friend came to visit, so she invited me to join her for dinner. It seems you and Careen are also dining out. Seeing you are all dressed up to go out."
Carl smiles as he sits next to his dad, "Yes, we are dining out and she will be down any minute now."
Carl and Train were sitting with a glass of wine when Torren entered the lounge. "Carl, when did you return home?"
Carl saw the happy smile and stood up, he was happy to see Torren looking so well, giving him a loving hug, "Not too long ago big brother and you look extremely well."
Torren had always liked Carl a lot, seeing him after so long he enjoyed the embrace, "Thanks, Carl, I feel much better and you are looking rather dashing tonight, I am sure Careen must have been ecstatic when she saw you."
Just then Torren notices Jeff, alighting the stairs all dressed up as well.
Torren felt somewhat alone seeing his brothers going out on this special day.
Taking courage knowing Candis will be home, Torren said, "It looks as if Jeff is also taking Lasandra out for dinner."
Train knew when he saw Jeff earlier he was so angry he didn't have the opportunity to mention anything about dinner. "He didn't say anything when we met earlier,"
Saying that Train is concerned that Torren might be all alone, Not delaying the nagging concern he said politely not to offend him, "Torren, why don't you join Shawney and me?"
"I am sorry Dad, but there's no need for you to worry, Candis and Travis will be home," Torren replies.
"I don't think so Son, look for yourself." Train said, and they all focused on the couple alight the stairs.
When Candis came and kissed Train he couldn't help mentioning how lovely she looked.
Her dress was amazing, it was a lovely royal blue with silver working from the right side shoulder all the way straight across to the hip line on the left. She looks so much like her mother Nancy.
Their beauty was mind-blowing, but their heart seemed to be misplaced when it came to loving and caring for others.
Travis on the other hand was wearing a baby blue suit, both looking quite dashing. "I see you two made dinner plans as well, so where are you taking my daughter tonight Travis?"
Being a bit inquisitive especially how they were both smiling as though they were keeping a secret.
When Travis said, "Dad the only place I could get a reservation was at Grand Royal Restaurant"
Being pleased with his choice to take his daughter to dine out, Train said, "Good choice Son, that place is nice."
Turning to Carl, and asks, "Carl my Son where did you make your reservation?"
With a gentle smile, he replies, "Dad, the only place Careen could get a reservation at short notice was at the Yacht Club."
Being satisfied with their choice Train responds happily, "Not bad my beautiful Daughter-in-law," looking in Careen's direction and seeing all smiles, giving her his thumbs up.
Admiring how beautiful she looks in the pink gown with silver working, It matches perfectly to Carl's white suit making them the perfect couple. This Daughter-in-law is super gentle and kindhearted, which he loves very much.
"And where are you all dressed up to go, Daddy?" Candis asks unexpectedly drawing everyone's attention.
To be honest, Train didn't hesitate a bit, revealing what was in his heart, "I don't know my child, I just got invited and am excited to see what the evening brings."
