บท 82: Crossing Lines

Pete was surprised to see Amanda sitting with Kathleen's mom when he came out from his bedroom after he freshened up. He had thought Kathleen's mom would have gone to Kathleen's apartment by the time he came out, but she was busy weaving Amanda's hair. 

"Daddy, did you know aunty Kat's mummy can make hair?" Amanda asked with a wide smile when her father walked in. 

"I can see that." Pete said as he looked around for Kathleen and her sister, "Where is Kathleen?" 

"She is in the kitchen preparing dinner." Kathleen's mother told him with a smile which made him quite uncomfortable. The scene before him looked too homely. It was like his mother in-law was making his daughter's hair while his wife fixed dinner, and he wasn't liking the feel. She had said she was going to make sure the whole place wasn't crowded, but the reverse was the case.
