"Mom." Joy sat next to Kaeli Thompson, "What brings you here?"
"What, I'm not allowed to come while you can?" Kaeli Thompson chuckled behind her hand, teasing, "You're always busy with the hospital, not even worrying about your own marriage. I'm here today specifically to discuss your marriage to Waylon with your aunt and uncle."
"Joy has always been the daughter-in-law of my dreams, and they are not getting any younger. Christopher and I have been planning their engagement recently."
"Well then, we're on the same page. Joy has always been the pearl in the palm of our family, treasured so much that we fear she might fall or melt away. But entrusting her to the Lewis Family eases my mind and her father's."
"Of course, you can rest assured that our family will always cherish this treasure."
"Mom, Aunt, you two are really..." Overcome with shyness and excitement, Joy was caught off guard by the pleasant surprise, her face blushing with coyness.
"Look at her, getting all shy."
