"What a pretty little beta he is!" The little woman exclaims lovingly, 

"Mommy, will you please stop this?" Ruth scrunches his nose, "He is my boyfriend, you know. And he might not like this."

Ruth and I immediately go red. "Mommy!" Ruth rebukes and Joe snorts. 

Steve's little hand tightens around mine. "What is 'son-in-law', brother?" He asks me innocently, blinking at me with curiosity in his dark eyes.
