There was no way that this was going to go well.
As much as she wanted to believe that Sam would just say something like 'Congratulations!', she
knew that was going to happen. Actually, she was sure that if she thought there was the slightest chance of that happening, she would be heartbroken when she got his
actual reaction. Which wasn't going to be good. She could just
feel it. Her stomach was in knots, and she kept pacing, telling herself to just
breathe. It was hard though. Sam wasn't even there yet, and the coffee was still dripping down, and she had even ordered dinner incase he was hungry. She doubted he would be, but it wasn't like it would go to waste, right? Neither would any of the other things she had went out and bought earlier that day. Not that food was going to make things better, but it was a comfort thing. She was sure she’d need it later, anyway.
Rubbing her hands together, she let out a long breath, looking down at her left hand, which lacked the sapphire and diamond ring that she had recently acquired from Seth. She just…she wasn’t used to wearing it yet, and she didn’t want him to see it and figure it out before she had a chance to say anything. Not that it would be that big of a deal if she had gotten
engaged first, but… this was more than that. This was much more than just an engagement.
Jumping about a foot in the air when she heard the knock on the door, she turned, straightened her blouse and walked over to where the knock had come from. Closing her eyes, she reassured herself that she would be alright, and turned the handle to open the door, seeing her twin brother standing there. She gave him a large smile, despite her nerves. “Hi, Sam.” God, it seemed like she never saw him anymore. Stepping forward, she gave him a kiss on the cheek and a hug that lasted a little bit longer than it usually would. Eventually, she pulled away and stepped to the side. “Come on in.”
