It was the first time the families of my boyfriend and mine met. At the dinner table, I chatted politely with my boyfriend's parents when his sister-in-law suddenly looked as though she realized something. She blurted out, "Melissa, you look so familiar. I remember now. I performed your abortion, didn't I?" Then, she covered her mouth in fake shock. But the damage was done. The table exploded. My boyfriend's parents, who fussed over me a moment ago, started whispering and pointing. "Youngsters these days really mess around." "No wonder she wants to get married quickly. Guess there is a reason." My parents' faces burned with shame. My boyfriend glared at me, furious. I slowly set my utensils down and spoke calmly, "It's normal for you to find me familiar, Tracey. I monitor the security at Serenity Cove. I watched you go in and out of Building Six every day. "If I remembered right, the owner of Apartment 904 in Building Six had the last name Tanner, not Duran."
