Rachel stood anxiously at the front door of the Ishii home, practically vibrating with nerves. She'd arrived about five minutes beforehand, and had yet to ring the doorbell.
She knew that it was time. She and Jaime had spoken (and fought) about this, they'd finally said their 'I love you's, Jadyn seemed much less homicidal in her presence, and they'd finally decided to make their relationship public knowledge. Conditions were perfect.
That did not make her any less nervous, however.
She was still convinced that Carole had hated her, and Ruth had practically started planning her and Noah's wedding after catching them making out on the couch one afternoon. She hadn't dealt with parents that were in that happy in-between, yet. Maybe she was cursed, and parents would always love or hate her in huge extremes.
In any case, she was dangerously close to being late, now. She couldn't stall anymore. Taking a deep breath, she fixed a large smile into place, straightened the small plant she had brought for Jaime's mother, and rang the doorbell.
