THE GAME

*Audra's POV, Past*

The conversation with my mother went much better than most can expect from a mom at our age. My mom wasn't crazy protective and, if I dare to say, she almost looked happy about us being together.

I've heard from parents not wanting to accept their kids' relationships, embarrassing moments and million other stories. I was glad my mom had a more modern approach and, more than anything, that she trusted us to be our own people. 

I knew our situation wasn't like others, and that made it a special case, but also my mother knew Chris closely and she had come to love him as her own son.

Her advice made a lot of sense and her few new rules - that honestly was more like some extra advice - made sense and were things I would probably keep in mind as simple common sense.

And well, an obvious one: we would not be sharing a room, at least not for now (those were exactly my mother's words).
