“Hurry up Spencer! We don’t want to be late for the airport!” Spencer Carlin smiled at the excitement in father’s voice. They were going to the airport to pick up Arthur’s fiancé, Christine.

Christine Davies had flown down to Los Angeles a few times before which had given Spencer the chance to meet her. She usually didn’t think long distance relationships were good, but things worked out between Christine and Arthur. To Spencer, she seemed like an okay woman for her dad. Even if she did already have two kids. Of course no one replaced her mother though.

Spencer’s mother, Paula, had passed away a few years before from cancer. Like all mothers and daughters, Paula and Spencer had their ups and downs, but that didn’t mean that Spencer didn’t love her. After her funeral, Spencer locked herself in her room and wouldn’t come out for days. It took her some time, but she finally learned to deal with her mom’s passing. She wasn’t completely happy about her dad getting engaged again, but if it made him happy, then she was ok with it.

There was one reason that Spencer was kind of excited about going to the airport. Christine had two daughters but Spencer couldn’t quite remember their names. The reason that she was only kind of excited was because she hadn’t met them yet and didn’t know what they were like. She could do without them if they were annoying. Her own brothers, Glen and Clay were enough for her even though they were off in their first year of college. But Spencer was told by her dad that they were “two nice young ladies”.

“I’m coming!” Spencer said as she raced down the stairs. She had on a baby blue back out dress with capris. Her brilliant, shiny, blonde hair was brushed out straight. Her eyes were shining blue as her father looked at her.

“You look beautiful honey.” Arthur said, making Spencer smile and give him a soft hug.

“Thanks.” She murmured.

“What’s the special occasion?” Arthur chuckled. Spencer looked at him, surprised. “Is there somebody special at the airport that I don’t know about?”

Spencer laughed and shook her head. “Hopefully.”
