“O well sorryyyy,” he says with attitude.

We all laugh and he leads us into the house.

“Right this way, ladies,” he walks us to the kitchen.

My visual instincts draw me to look around and observe.

“You have a beautiful home Thomas,” I say.

“Ya baby its beautiful,” Amber looks at Thomas.

“It’s cozy,” Maddy says gazing around also.

I see a women walk into the kitchen, must be his mom.

“Ok so you guys must be the girls,” She says and we all nod. “You must be Amber,” She points to Amber then to Thomas’s waist where Amber’s hand is still placed.

“That’s Maddy and that’s Sammy,” Thomas says while pointing to us.

“Well nice to meet you girls” she has a warming smile, “I set the table for you all so that you can eat.”

“Thanks mom, now can you…” Thomas gives her the look that says please.

“Yes, yes I am going. Have fun,” she turns and walks away.

We all sit down and start eating. We talk to each other like we have known each other for years. It’s as it should be.
