Brian picked up the phone and greeted, âMom.
â
âHas Deanna been causing you any trouble, Brian?â
Noemiâs voice floated through the receiver.
âNot at all,â Brian responded.
âSheâs been good.
â
âI hear youâve been playing the knight for Rosalynn Lately.
Are things better between you two now?â There was no hint of jest in her tone.

His eyebrows furrowed, Brian questioned, âWhat did Deanna say to you, Mom?â
âWhy would you think she told me anything? Unless thereâs something Rosalynn did that youâre afraid Deanna would spill?â
Her tone suggested that Deanna had indeed spilled some beans.
Glancing to the dining room, Brian caught sight of a delicate figure.
He bit his Lip before speaking.
âMom, Rosalynn and I have been married for quite a while now.
Itâs about time she met you formally.
Iâll bring her over once my current assignment wraps up.
â
âThereâs no need for you both to travel.
Iâll be back next week.
Let your father know.
We can all catch up then,â replied Noemi.
âAlright,â Brian said, ending the call.

A memory of Barlow flashed in his mind, casting a shadow on his otherwise bright mood.
Walking into the dining room, Brian was met with Rosalynnâs query.
âWho was on the phone?â
âJust Mom.
Sheâs coming back next week,â Brian replied, nonchalant.
His mother was scheduled to return the following week, which meant Rosalynn had to prepare for her first meeting with her mother-in-law.
A wave of nerves washed over Rosalynn.
Seeing her lost in thought, Brian tapped the table with his fingers to break her trance.
âWhy so dreamy? Taste my cooking,â he urged.
Startled, Rosalynn quickly sliced a piece of steak and took a bite.
The meat melted in her mouth.
It was perfectly cooked.
