“And will we ever get to meet these men?” Dad asks.
“Yes, we’d like to thank them for rescuing you,” Mum adds.
“Traveling isn’t doable at the moment,” I tell them.
“Are they there in the home? Can we meet them now?” Mum asks.
Gracie and I look at each other. She gives me a shrug.
“Now?” This seems a little rushed.
“Yes, now. Why not get everything out on the table,” Mum adds.
“Um, okay, I’ll go grab them.” I jump up out of my seat and run through the house. I find them curled up on the sofa watching TV.
“Is everything okay?” Tomas asks.
“My parents want to meet you … and they know we’re in a relationship together.”
The smiles drop from their faces.
“And?” Tomas asks hesitantly.
“They were shocked, but I think they’re okay. They just want to meet the two men who rescued me.”
They follow me back to Tomas’s office, and I don’t blame them for being a little hesitant.
“Mum, Dad, I would like to introduce you to Mateo and Tomas.”
“Oh, my lord, you two are gorgeous,” are Mum’s first words.
This makes them chuckle.
Dad launches into a huge monologue about how much he owes them for saving me.
Damn him, I have something in my eye now.
Tomas and Mateo handle my parents expertly, and by the end of it they are all joking as if they were always part of the family.
“Okay, well, when this is all over, we want to come and thank you both properly,” Mum says.
“Of course, you are most welcome,” Tomas answers.
“Great. Now, move along so we can talk about you behind your backs,” Mum jokes.
“Sorry, Mum has a strange sense of humor,” I say to the boys. They both laugh and blow her kisses through the computer.
“Have they left yet?” she whispers.
I nod.
“Frank, can you please leave the room? I would like to talk to my daughters.”
Dad knows what’s coming and quietly leaves the room.
“Are those men real? Because I’m sorry, Zoe, they are the most beautiful creatures I have ever laid eyes on.”
Gracie and I burst out laughing.
