“You already have a boyfriend?!” Ursa exclaimed as soon as Katherine told her.
“Yes, mom.”
Ursa felt a slight pang in her heart. She wasn’t able to watch over her daughter for 8 years. She didn’t get to experience being confided on by her daughter about her crush or having suitors. And now suddenly she’s told that her daughter already has a boyfriend!
“What’s his name? Is he an old classmate? A neighbor? A workmate? A person from a blind date or dating site? A friend? A friend’s relative?” Ursa shot one question after another.
‘I should have asked her if she had anybody wooing her. It’s my fault. I still saw her as my little girl.’
Katherine sat by the hospital bed and held her mother’s hand.
“His name is Morris. You could say he’s a workmate. A friend’s soon-to-be relative. And a friend.”
“Morris..”
“Mn. He is Diana’s future brother-in-law. He’s been here before.”
