"Teddy," The air is sucked out from my liver. He shrugs and looks at me softly,

"Were you expecting someone else?" He asks and I swallow.

"Mm...come in. Mum! Dad!! Teddy's here!!!" I step aside for him to come in and close the door.

Almost immediately everyone is outside, greeting Ted. Somehow nobody mentions that Luca isn't here yet.

"Ah, I thought you wouldn't make it," Dad says to Teddy who makes a face that says: why wouldn't I?

They all sit down but I hover around a bit, "you invited Teddy for dinner?" I ask Dad and he nods.

"I thought it's been a while since we had him over and his parents need some them time if you know what I mean," he laughs at his hidden joke while I make a face at him.
