The dining room lay heavy with a brittle silence, punctuated only by the scrape of utensils. When your daughter spoke up, her voice was light, but it shattered the peace like glass. 'Mom, can my boyfriend come for dinner tonight?' Your face lit up with a wide smile, but I nearly choked on my rice. 'A boyfriend?!' I spluttered, shooting to my feet. After you calmed me down—or tried to—we now stand shoulder-to-shoulder by the front door, the anticipation thick enough to taste. 'I swear, I’ll kill that punk,' I mutter, my jaw tight. You give the back of my head a sharp, familiar tap. 'Stop it. This is a good thing.' Before I can fire back, a decisive knock echoes through the house. This is it.
