Martin walked into the Camden house with determination. It had been two monthes sence Ruthie had told Martin to tell her parents that Martin and Ruthie were together. Martin walked across the kitchen and reached Eric's oofice. He barged in only to find Annie sitting on the desk folding clothes.
"Hi, Mrs.Camden," Martin said mixed with happiness and sadness. annie was a lot more understanding then Eric.
"He Martin. Come and help me fold these clothes while we talk," said Mrs. Camden holding out a long T-Shirt. "So, what do you want to talk about?"
"I was just wondering. What is your poinion on age differences when it comes to couples?" Martin said avoiding eye contact.
"Well, my opinion...it doesn't really matter, does it? If two people love each other, there's not much I can do, is there?" said Annie, giving Martin a very furtive look.
"Oh," said Martin, trying to tell himself that look was not a hint.
"And using an example...maybe if...it were, lets say...figuritively speaking, you and Ruthie. i don't think I'd mind." Said Annie looking streight into Martin's eyes.
"How did you know!" Said Martin. Now mad that he worked up the courage over two monthes to even get to this point.
"Come on now. I'm a mother...I know everything." She said putting down the clothes and walking out of the office.
"I told your mom," said Martin walking into Ruthies room.
"Oh please Martin. She already knew," said Ruthie, not fooled by Martin.
"How did you know?" Said Martin, now getting frustrated.
"Come on now. She's a mother...she knows everything." She said plopping onto he bed.
As Martin plopped onto her bed, he said, "Why does everyone know this but me?"
"Not everyone knows. Just the girls." She said getting comfortable. Ruthie started to get tired, sence she had just gone through a long day. "Now all you have to do is tell my dad," Said Ruthie drowzilly.
Martin let out a long sigh. And when he turned around, Ruthie was asleep. She looked so beautiful to him. Her long curly hair was laying right next to her face...cozily. Martin left Ruthie to doze on, hoping that she was only dreaming about him.
