"It seemed like you were so passionate with whoever you were talking to on the phone" her mom said jokingly.

Mary wondered how much her mum heard, she wanted to aske her, but it would raise suspicions. So she just let it be.

The food was almost done by the time they both went back to the kitchen, Mary and her mom set the table together. Her mom teased her some more about having a boyfriend which as responded to shyly.

By the time Mr Wilberforce came back from work, the table was already set.

"Dad" Mary greeted kissing her dad's chin.

"I smell something delicious". He said sniffing the air.

"Guess what dad, we are having Mac and cheese for dinner".

"Wow!" He exclaimed. "My mouth feels watery already" he joked.

They both laughed as they walked inside holding hands.

"I would just drop these and come back for dinner, I can't wait to pounce on this delicious meal" he said jokingly.
