father,
Robert Pollack, Ivy’s brother in law, Little Rose Pollack, Ivy’s
niece, and the weed, Ivy’s other relative.” She pointed to each
person.
    “ I’m her sister.” Once
more, Fern thrust her hand out.
    “ Only by a freak chance of
DNA.” Still, she restrained Wilson’s arm. “Everyone, this is Wilson
Alexander. The last name is not a coincidence. He is Logan
Alexander’s brother.” At last, she let him go.
    “ Are you an actor?” Cecelia
leaned in.
    “ No. Never stepped one foot
in front of a camera.” Wilson shook hands with Ivy’s father and
brother-in-law.
    Giselle noticed he didn’t shake Fern’s hand
yet. The guy she was seeing was a fast study.
    “ You are really Logan
Alexander’s brother?” Fern kept that hand prone, ready for
use.
    “ I just said he was, they
have the same last name.” She stopped short of sticking her tongue
out at the woman who outted her every time she told Ivy a
secret.
    “ Welcome to my home.”
Cecelia’s face lit up in a smile, and she shook Wilson’s hand as
well. “Everyone, let’s go inside, I want to show Giselle the
cake.”
    In a move that even impressed her, she
managed to corral Wilson past Fern and followed Ivy’s mom.
    “ Now with you safely here,
and my eyes on you and your cell phone, I will tell you why you are
here.” Cecelia led them into the kitchen and held her hands out to
the cake.
    At the words on the cake, she stumbled back,
but Wilson caught her. “I don’t understand.”
    “ Still unable to read?”
Fern came over. “It says, ‘Happy Engagement Ivy and
Matt.’”
    Wilson bent down to her ear. “Who’s
Matt?”
    Of all the times she should have opened the
bag and rolled out a red carpet to let the cats out, she stayed
quiet.
    “ Ivy’s fiancé.” Fern
continued to spew her brand of facts. “He’s surprising her with the
engagement tonight. That’s why we’re all here.”
    Barely realizing it, Giselle shook her
head.
    “ What’s wrong?” As if
guarding the cake, Cecelia moved in front of the table with her
arms out.
    “ Ivy is not seeing Matt in
the same way that I am seeing Wilson.” Though she said the words,
it sounded as if someone else were speaking.
    “ Of course not, dear, you
and Wilson just started seeing each other. Ivy and Matt have been
together for a long time.” Cecelia’s tone turned
parental.
    Apparently, this called for further
explanation and she leaned in. “Wilson and I have sex, a lot. Ivy
and Matt, not a lot.” Ivy and Matt were on again off again, mostly
off and now with Logan…Logan. Oh no, this was going to get bad.
    Ivy’s father wiped his brow.
    “ Well, not that it’s
anyone’s business, but maybe Ivy and Matt aren’t as forthcoming
about their private activities as you are.” Now Cecelia spoke
through clenched teeth.
    “ If anyone is privy to
Ivy’s private activities aside from the guy she is with, it’s me
and trust me, it isn’t happening, and we don’t call it private
activities.” Above all else she had to get to her best friend. “I
need to use the bathroom.” She clutched her purse and went to
leave.
    “ Oh no, you don’t. Not with
this.” Cecelia caught her and wrangled her purse away.
    Giselle put her hand to her chest and went
to plan B. “Well, Wilson and I need to go to the bathroom.” She
reached out for him.
    Ivy’s father stepped in front of her. “You
go to the bathroom with Wilson?”
    Think! “I told you we had sex a lot, I feel
the urge coming on right now.”
    “ Ha!” Fern gave the baby to
her husband and dashed to the window. “Your plan has been thwarted,
Matt just pulled up in the driveway.”
    “ Thwarted!” Giselle moved
to make a clean getaway, only to be stopped by Ivy’s father.
However, she couldn’t go down without a fight, she had to protect
her best friend. “Thouest don’t know what you’re doing, it is you
who shall be thwarted.” If only she had a sword or that baster
microphone.
    “ Let’s go greet Ivy
