Mom came in a little later, just as we were about to finish cleaning. For some reason, she had the brightest smile ever as she walked in and found me tidying up the sitting room.
"Good morning, sweetheart," she greeted, pulling me into a warm hug.
"Hey, Mom," I replied, hugging her back.
She leaned in and whispered in my ear, "So... did everything go smoothly at the mixer?"
I frowned. I didn't remember telling her about the mixer.
"W-what do you mean, Mom?" I asked cautiously.
"Well... with Anna? Anything good?"
I should've known! So that's why she didn't come home last night! Anna, Mom, and Ivy must've planned this all along!
We pulled apart from the hug.
"Yeah... I guess we had a little fun," I answered vaguely.
Her smile widened. "Perfect!! We should be making wedding plans very soon!"
"Wait... hold on, what?!"
