- “I couldn’t have asked for a better first impression.” His family were doing their best to make me feel comfortable and welcomed.

“How are you doing?” I asked back. “Still glad you brought me into your family home?” The question genuine. It was a big step forward to bring someone you are -

- the door his parents had gone through. “Your mom is delightful, as is your dad. They love you and want the best for you. I cannot hold that against them. They want to make sure you are making the right choices when it comes to who you are dating.” I knew they didn’t know the full story... yet. -

My hand moved to rub the baby girl’s nose as Collin kissed my cheek. “We are doing just fine. Well… Actually… more than better.” Lifting my free hand to show him how stable it was. “See not even shaking or anything as dramatic.” Leaning my shoulder into his side, my gaze moved towards -

> My eyes widened as the rose scent began permeating. “Oh… my… this is delicious!” The expression on my face filled with happiness.

𝙃𝙖𝙧𝙥𝙚𝙧 𝙇𝙚𝙚 𝙅𝙚𝙣𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙨 @uptightvet.bsky.social · Sep 7

> “I don’t believe all… however I have met some.” I answered truthfully.” Glancing up at Collin, unsure if I’d said something I wasn’t aware I shouldn’t have shared.

‘Aren’t they all so kind?’ His mom took a sip from her glass. And I followed her lead.

> I wasn’t sure about that man at first, however after speaking to him and spending time with him. I’d seen him in a new light.

“All of Collin’s friends I’ve met are lovely people.”

‘You’ve met all our son’s friends?’ Kevin Littlesea ask with an eyebrow raised.

This made me laugh nervously. “In which case I best place a cheque in the post to her.” Making myself laugh again. “It was an enjoyable night. And Embry Call was a general men.”

> “I’m sorry…. My mind drifted away.” I told them honestly.

‘Oh don’t you worry. You will come to find our madness endearing.’ She pats my lap. Repeating her question. Which of course made me blush.

“I’m not sure I can take that much credit…” I started.

> Collin’s mom about our shared love of books, to hearing these stories which only made me learn about this man I… cared for in a new light.

I was so lost in my thoughts that I hadn’t notice when all three of the Littlesea’s had stopped speaking to look at me.

The moment Collin came to stand beside me that tug in my heart disappeared. It was a constant reminder of how I had begun to miss his presence when we were apart. Something new I’d had to come to terms with.

- Sitting with her seemed to fall into an easy comfortable conversation making what little worries I had melt away.

𝙃𝙖𝙧𝙥𝙚𝙧 𝙇𝙚𝙚 𝙅𝙚𝙣𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙨 @uptightvet.bsky.social · Aug 29

- I agreed. “You love to read too?” We spoke about the books she enjoyed, we spoke about how Collin, and my paths first crossed, how I was ready to give him a piece of my mind, however how I’d misjudged the situation.

- Making my eyes widen with shock, my cheek flush and my head drop to hide my face. ‘It’s okay dear. I think it’s brilliant to have a little tension. They make for the best kind of meet-cute, don’t you agree?’

This made me realise that Jessica had to be the little bird. “Yes… they really do.” -

𝙃𝙖𝙧𝙥𝙚𝙧 𝙇𝙚𝙚 𝙅𝙚𝙣𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙨 @uptightvet.bsky.social · Aug 29

- “Your son has been an amazing friend to me. He and Nova were just the people I needed when we met.”

Her eyes glistened, making me squeeze back. ‘I hear from a little bird, he didn’t make the best first impression.’ She teased. -

𝙃𝙖𝙧𝙥𝙚𝙧 𝙇𝙚𝙚 𝙅𝙚𝙣𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙨 @uptightvet.bsky.social · Aug 29

- and chuckle before he disappeared too.

My eyes followed Collin until he disappeared, then I felt her hand over mine on my lap. ‘I so love seeing how happy my son has become since he mentioned you.’ My cheeks blushed hot, as my gaze fell on our hands as she squeezed it.

- However, by the reaction giving you could be forgiven for mistaking my gifts as the Crown Jewels of the King of England.

‘You really shouldn’t have my dear.’ Mrs Littlesea said.

‘But, we will enjoy it all, now that you did.’ Mr Littlesea called out with a kind wink -

- The house coming to life all around me, it felt full!

You know… that feeling you have when you find yourself content with the place you’re occupying with those you have a connection with? Yes. That is the feeling I felt.

The gift bag placed on the coffee table, I explained when I have brought.

“I’m happy with whatever everyone is having, thank you.” Answering Collin’s question giving both the fur babies a rub under their chins, before being whisked away by his mom again, the smile on my lips growing.

It all felt as though my feet with dancing on air. -

- Maybe she could tell I wasn’t ready to let go just yet.

My gaze shifted to Collin as his parents teased one another. Sniffing back those pesky tears which came out of nowhere before they fell and gave the worst impression. However the sight of his ear, made my chuckle. -

𝙃𝙖𝙧𝙥𝙚𝙧 𝙇𝙚𝙚 𝙅𝙚𝙣𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙨 @uptightvet.bsky.social · Jul 28

- Give me a chance to say hello too.’ The voice was known to me.

“Hello Mr Littlesea. It’s nice to see you again.” I said when Collin’s mom and I parted.

‘Don’t be mean to me, husband. I could hug this young lady all day long.’ She kept an arm around my waist. -

𝙃𝙖𝙧𝙥𝙚𝙧 𝙇𝙚𝙚 𝙅𝙚𝙣𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙨 @uptightvet.bsky.social · Jul 28

- Thank you so much for your kind invitation and welcome to your beautiful home.”

She didn’t pull away from me, she held on as though she knew I needed this connection with her a little while longer.
