As she pulls me in for another hug, the door in the mudroom bursts open before slamming shut as Dad’s loud voice booms throughout the kitchen. “I smell stroganoff! My guess is that someone’s looking to get lucky tonight!” Mom presses her lips together as her shoulders shake with silent mirth. Just as Dad rounds the corner, he grinds to an abrupt halt when he catches sight of me in Mom’s arms. “Oh.” He glances from me to Mom and then back again as a dull flush crawls up his cheeks. “Well…this is certainly awkward.” Unable to contain ourselves any longer, we burst out laughing.
I loved this part. So funny. It’s excellent to portray parents that still are very much in love and want each other.
