"Are you sure she'll be okay with me?" Terry asks for the tenth time in as many minutes. "I mean, as your boyfriend?"
Anthony smiles his most reassuring smile. Mr. and Mrs. Boot hadn't taken the announcement well. Mrs. Boot had wept that she would never have grandchildren now.
"My mum has been wanting to meet you," Anthony assures him. "Stop worrying."
"What if she doesn't like me?"
"I love you. She'll love you."
Terry nods,still looking unsure. Anthony kisses his cheek and takes his hand. "Relax, Ter," he says before opening the door.
His mother is waiting, a broad smile on her plump face. "Welcome home, dear. Oh, you must be Terry. Anthony has told me all about you."
Terry looks unsure as Anthony's mother pulls him into a warm hug. "You're too skinny, dear! Come have a nosh."
