Claire closed the door and stood there smiling for a while. She saw her mother sleeping at the dining table. She woke her up. "Ohh you're back" said Issa "Mom.. why are you not in your room?" Asked Claire "I was waiting for you. How was the party?" "Everything went well" said Claire. "Okay" Both of them retired to their rooms. Eric walked into the living room and settled on the couch. "Welcome back" It was his mother. She was waiting for him to come back, the way she always did when his father didn't come home early. "Mom.." "So.. how was it?" Asked Laine. Eric smiled "It was great. One of the nicest nights of my life" "Son.." "Yes?" "Do you like Claire?" Laine asked while smiling. "Is it that obvious?" Laine chuckled "Maybe.." "So.. you wanna say something about that?"
