“Sweetheart, it is wonderful to see you,” Zoe’s dad, David said.
Zoe smiled, gave her dad a long hug, and then turned towards her mother.
“This is Dylan,” Zoe said, introducing the love of her life to her parents for the very first time.
She was nervous and happy at the same time. She wanted everything to be perfect.
“Come in both of you, let’s have some dinner,” Jillian said, motioning for them to enter.
As she walked past her mom, she gave her a quick wink. Her mother winked back, indicating all was well.
The dinner her mother had cooked was spectacular. But, her mother had always been an amazing chef even though she would never take credit. She made chicken with mushrooms, cannelloni, garlic potatoes, and salad. Her mother had a tendency to go all out when there were guests, and even though she didn’t entertain much anymore, she would do it for her daughter.
