Chapter 87

While Matthew and Lucy were happily watching the movie, the air was tense between Chelsea and Hugh in the coffee shop.

Chelsea rolled her eyes at him. "Why did you come so early? Didn't I tell you that I was shopping with Lucy?"

Hugh said to her gently, "I was just worried about you two women getting home, so I wanted to give you a lift. I didn't think that your best friend's husband would come to pick her up too." Chelsea knew that she was being unreasonable. Even if Hugh had not come to pick her up, she was probably about to go home too. Shel was just angry for some reason, so very angry!

She remembered how he had called her all of a sudden earlier, discrediting her. Their quarrel escalated even further. Meanwhile, Hugh was at a loss. He could not figure out for the life of him what he had done to anger Chelsea. All he could do was try to calm her down,

"Chelsea, please don't be mad. How about I take you to Timberland Lake this Saturday? We can ride in hot air balloons and go on cable rides. If you want, I'll even go bungee jumping with you."

He reluctantly forced the words out of his mouth, but the thought of going bungee jumping with Chelsea made his hair stand on end.

He was afraid of heights, but what else could he do? He refused to show any trace of fear in front of his girlfriend.
