Picket Fences! Part 119



Over at the Carlton house, Brianna was sitting on the sofa with her mother Carrie.

"Mom, I met the most wonderful man last week. He's so goodlooking and he even owns a beautiful beachhouse", said Brianna.

"I'd love to meet him. Why don't you invite him over?", Carrie said.

"Alright, I will", she said.



She picked up the phone and called Brody.

"Can you come over? My mom would like to meet you", she said.



"Yeah, sure. I'll be there in a few minutes", he said.



When Brody arrived, he chatted with Carrie. They soon became friends.



She asked him to join her on the sofa.

"Where are you from?", Carrie asked.

"I come from a small town in Texas. After my daddy died, I moved here where my grandparents live", he answered.



Brianna joined them.

"Did Mom find out your whole life story?", she asked.

"No, we were just getting to know each other". said Brody.



Carrie went in the kitchen to fix macaroni and cheese for lunch.



In the living room, Carrie and Brody cuddled on the sofa.



"Will you come to my place tomorrow?", he asked.



"You know I will", she said, nuzzeling his neck.



He gave her a romantic kiss.



When she got lunch ready, Carrie called Brianna and Brody to meal.



After they finished lunch, Brianna told Brody goodbye.

"I'll see you tomorrow", she said.

"I can hardly wait", he said.



Then Brody left to go home.



On the other side of town, Matthew Custer called Abby Johnson and invited her over to his apartment. She said she would be delighted.



Matthew gave her a romantic hug when she arrived. They have been dating for the last few weeks.



They cuddled on the sofa.



He gave her a romantic kiss.



They madeout.



"I want to ask you something", he said.

"What is it?", she asked.



Matthew dropped to one knee and asked her if she would be engaged to him.



She admired the ring . . .



"Yes!', she said, hugging him.
