A few people sat together in the living room, chatting casually about everything from celebrity gossip to national affairs, and then to matters of lifelong commitment.
When the last topic came up, Loona Ben repeatedly sighed with worry for her youngest son, hesitating many times to suggest that he should go on a blind date before stopping herself from saying it.
Ernie Daniel felt a shiver run through his body from the intense stare of his own mother and, bracing himself, he asked, "Mom, is there something you want to say?"
Hearing her little uncle ask this, Caroline Edwin, who sat on the couch playing puzzles with Linn Daniel, raised an eyebrow subtly without making a sound.
Was her little uncle planning to jump into the pit he had dug for himself?
Loona Ben pursed her lips, recalling some online comments, and a look of deep concern appeared on her wrinkled face.
