Ask Permission

On the ride home Erin sat back in the seat and stared out of the window.

She thought about what her mom had told her, and she wondered, is it true?

No...

Daniel watched Erin grip the arm rest and bite her nails.

"What's wrong?" he asked curiously.

"Huh? Oh ... nothing."

"Tell me Erin," he said placing his hand on her leg.

She looked at him with worry in her eyes, "I'm just kind of stressed about the wedding."

He smiled, "Why? It's just a party to show everyone. Obviously we are already married."

She nodded, "Yeah, I know but... it 's just after your mother called me..."

"What?" he interrupted, "What did she say? Erin just ignore her. She is always inserting herself!" his hand slammed down on the leather seat.

Erin looked confused, "No! She is nice to me... what I mean is that she asked me if my parents are coming and so after the call, I decided to tell my mom."

Daniel raised his eyebrows, "And?"

Erin smiled nervously, "She is busy with work and can't come."
