Abigail
"Meemaw?"
Meemaw rushed towards me, throwing both arms around my neck. Her familiar scent filled my nose, and I gaped in disbelief at her.
She was here. She was really here! I hugged her tightly, burying my face in her neck.
"My Abby," she said into my hair, rocking me slightly. "My baby girl."
"Meemaw," I whispered, biting back a sob. "How are you here? How did you..."
"Abby darling" Gramps cheered, hobbling toward us to join the hug. "There's my girl,"
"Let me look at you." Meemaw pulled back and took my face in her hands. "Look at you. Look how beautiful my baby is."
"Thanks, Meemaw,"
"You didn't tell me you had a new boyfriend." The sudden change of subject had me guffawing in surprise.
"What boyfriend?"
"Oh, that tall sonny," Gramps rolled his eyes, chipping in. "When he arrived at our place yesterday, your grandmother almost fainted."
"He was very polite and sweet, how could I not?" Meemaw gushed while my face scrunched up in confusion.
