Bab 101: Pining for Him

"I think there's nothing wrong with being single," I told her patiently.

"That's what you think, but I still worry so much about you. I think that if you can find the right guy for you, he can make your life easier, more comfortable, and also less lonely," my mother said before smiling at me. I knew what she was hinting at, but I wasn't a big fan of her idea. It seemed like my mother had gotten much more comfortable after marrying Bennett.

"Not all guys are going to be as great as Bennett," I told her with a playful grin.

"If the guy is chosen and filtered by Bennett, then I think there is a great chance that he will turn out to be quite a fine and supportive gentleman," my mother replied with confidence. After staring into my mother's eyes in silence for a couple of seconds, I had to sigh in resignation.

"Can we not talk about this right now?" I asked, attempting to postpone the inevitable. It seemed like my mother wasn't at all keen on backing off this topic.
