TITLE WELCOME HOME PARTY LOCATION MEREDITH VASQUEZ’S PLACE TIMELINE GABBY HAS JUST RETURNED TO HER HOMETOWN AFTER SPENDING YEARS IN LONDON, AND IS MEETING OLIVER FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A LONG TIME WITH OLIVER PRATTY TAGGING @untidywords
Overwhelming was an understatement. Having all these people from her childhood around her made Gabby feel a little bit uneasy. She remembered their names, but hardly anything about them. She remembered the memories, but not the people in them. If it were up to her, a small get-together with close friends would’ve been fine. But Meredith Vasquez was her mother. Gabby knew the woman had never been one to go for subtle. It was one of the reasons her dad left her behind --- well, aside from the twenty year old he’d started hooking up with at the time. Gabby now circled the room in a frenzy, greeting every old neighbor and childhood friend that was in the room when the door opened. Her mother screeched a shrill sound of excitement. When Gabby turned, she swore she turned as white as a ghost. Before she could hide, her mother was already pulling her in towards her newest guest: Oliver Pratt.
