Tell her the Truth

Erin and Daniel sat with Lily and Fa Shen at their table, "It's getting late," Daniel said gesturing to Anne who was drifting off to sleep, leaning on her father's arm.

"Come on, they're leaving now." Erin said going over to congratulate the couple before they left.

Liam and Jade said their goodbyes to the hall of guests. Jade made sure to kiss each of her friends, and rub her success in their faces.

"Wasn't it the best wedding you ever attended?!" she bragged.

Erin hugged the newlyweds and Liam held his mother tightly,

"Are you pleased with me?" he asked her.

Erin blotted her cheek with a tissue trying to hold back her emotions, " Liam I am always pleased with you. You are so responsible and mature. Your father and I are so proud of you, don't you know that?!"

He sighed and rested his head on her shoulder, "I am going to make you even more proud..." he promised.
