[QUOTE="Karin, post: 111897, member: 57167"] In Philadelphia were the party guests now in the ball room, dancing to a string quartet. Afton was enjoying herself as she danced with Mario. But then suddenly the music stopped and the Baron entered the stage and walked up to a microphone saying, “Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to thank you all so much for coming to celebrate my 70th birthday with me tonight…” Afton sighed, as she thought this was the beginning of another [I]long [/I]speech. However his next words caught her off guard. “I regret to inform you that we must break up the party early due to bad weather.” The guests mumbled, as they were not too pleased with this news. “This is not good, let’s just hope it’s not another hurricane,” Mario sighed. “I’m sure it’s not that bad it’s probably just a little thunder storm,” Afton said. “I don’t think so, it’s been raining an awful lot tonight,” Mario said. The Baron went on, “There is no cause for panic, but we have a hurricane coming in tomorrow morning. So everyone is advised to go home immediately!” “Oh no!” Afton exclaimed as her face paled. “But I’m going home tomorrow!” “No darling you’re not, no aircrafts can take off in this weather,” Mario said. “You mean I’m stuck here?” Afton asked horrified. “Hey don’t worry, we are very prepared to deal with hurricanes,” Mario said reassuringly. “Yeah but Becky, she’s expecting me home tomorrow!” “Well the child is in good hands with your brother.

Now cheer up, this gives us more time together!” However Afton didn’t look too pleased at the prospect of having to spend another day with Mario’s family. [/QUOTE]
