"Get it together, Viv." i said to myself, As upset as I was at my parents for springing this on me, I could freak out later, after I got through the evening. It wasn’t like I could say no to the match. If I did, my parents would disown me. Plus, my future husband.my stomach lurched again,would be here any minute, and I couldn’t make a scene.

"Ah, there you are.” My father rose "Thank you for coming at such short notice."

“How could I pass up the opportunity to meet your lovely daughter"
