She shouldn't have been surprised to find them sitting there.
For a moment, she was almost angry that they were treating her like a child.
She was a 30 year old woman for god's sake and certainly didn't need to provide a commentary for her parents on what did and didn't happen on her date. And waiting up for her…seriously? What was up with that?
But as she heard her mother sigh and comment on her happiness, the frustration ebbed and was replaced with a realisation that actually…finally…she had what she had always truly wanted for herself.
A family.
