39 Heading Ou (2/2)

Meaghan was surprised, but assured her she looked fine.

”And you have the address?” At Leaf's nod, Meaghan grabbed her jacket, purse, and keys.

”Let's go.”

She decided to use a taxi to get to the Ahmad residence to cut the travel time. When they arrived at the front gate, she could only stare in awe. The curly metalwork of the gate gave way to walls of native stone, a gilt stylized sun in the center surrounded by graceful metal palms. Along the front of the wall, the bright green leaves of elephant's ears competed with the fuchsia stars of bougainvillea.

Meaghan's had crept out and squeezed her sister's.

Tina, on the other hand, was excited but not shocked at the opulence the gate hinted at.

The taxi driver rolled down his window and spoke to the tinny voice from the grill above the security camera, giving Meaghan's name.

”I hope Sethe is ready, so we can leave quickly.” Meaghan mused and turned to Leaf. ”We need to be on our best behavior; remember my boss lives here, too.”

Leaf looked at her only sister for a moment, and then nodded.

”I promise. But, kakak, I don't think you need to worry. Everyone's is looking forward to seeing you.”

Tina suddenly stopped, a stricken look on her face as the taxi cab drove through the now-opened gates towards the house.

Meaghan glanced at her sister as Tina's words registered. ”What are you talking about?”

Tina looked guilty.

”Sethe and I talked last night. She wants to have supper here at the house, before we go shopping.”

”Why didn't you tell me?” Meaghan looked at her sundress, suddenly wishing she had worn something more formal.

Tina saw the movement.

”Meaghan, you look great; don't worry about it.”

When she looked back up; they were at the house.
