Back To Reality…

 

It’s the day I get to meet Audrey’s family. I don’t know how they’re going to like me after seeing their daughter come home with a red left cheek because of my ex-girlfriend. I don’t even know how they’re going to react when I tell them that I have kids to begin with.

Audrey and I headed out for our usual after-shift date. The sun was shining and the atmosphere felt great, but I couldn’t stop worrying about our lunch with Audrey’s family later. At McDonald’s, “One Call Away” was playing when we came in.

Audrey ordered her usual 2-piece pancakes, and I ordered a sausage McMuffin with egg and iced coffee.

“So, are you ready for later?” Audrey asked.

“Not really. I’m really worried. I don’t think that they’re going to like me,” I answered.

“Relax. My dad is a bit opinionated, but he’s a good person,” she reassured me.

“Okay, okay. I won’t think much about it. Should we bring a cake for later?” I asked.

“Sure, they’d love a simple chocolate cake,” she answered.
