Sean was upstairs adjusting his required tie before heading downstairs. With everything in place, he walked out of the door and closed it behind himself. As he walked downstairs, he had to contain his excitement for if his parents knew what he was doing they would so totally disapprove that he might be disinherited. Not that he really cared any longer, it was that he still loved his 'uppity' parents and his sister who was now in college.<br/><br/>Sean was now downstairs and entering the morning room where his parents were waiting until it was time to go  to the dining room.<br/><br/>"Good Morning, Mother. I trust that you have slept well." David bent his 6 foot 2 inch frame down to kiss his mother's offered cheek.<br/><br/>"Well enough, Sean. And yourself?" came the usual reply. Why his mother never said anything else was beyond his understanding.<br/><br/>"Fine Mother. Father, good morning, sir. I trust you slept well...." Sean asked as he shook his hand.<br/><br/>"Well enough, son." came his reply with the emphasis on son.<br/>"Are you sure that you won't reconsider the job proposal? It would be so much more prestigious then your uncle's ranch and yes, I understand your fondness of the man and his ranch."<br/><br/>"Yes father, I am sure that at this time I will not change jobs for any amount of money, perks or prestige. I am there where I am needed and that is where I will stay. I will not change my mind no matter what job proposal you bring to me. Please do not bring another one home." Sean spoke calmly yet very firmly.<br/><br/>The clock struck 8:00. Marilyn stood up in one graceful move and walk or more like glided, to her husband's side. However, Sean, Sr was not finished with the subject but it was time to move to the dining room for breakfast.<br/><br/>Sean stepped back and allowed his parents to go before him. He followed at the proper distance. He used to assist his sister in her chair but she was in college now. he did miss her but not all of the proper etiquette crap. He waited patiently as his father assisted his mother in her chair and allowed his father to sit before he sat down. His mother smiled and put her napkin on her lap as did his father and himself at the same precise time. His mother rang the bell and the day has officially began.
