*The next day*
Elizabeth was getting ready to go home after spending the night at Bruce's.
"Why do you have to leave, we could have lunch and watch movies or something." Elizabeth smiled at Bruce and kissed him on the cheek.
"It's not like we didn't make plans for tomorrow Bruce. As much as I would like to stay I really need to change into clean clothes. Plus, Gram is probably worried that I didn't return last night." Reluctantly Bruce walked Elizabeth to her car.
"Fine, I'll see you tomorrow, I love you Lizzie." Elizabeth couldn't help but grin like a Cheshire cat; she didn't think she would be able get used to Bruce saying that to her.
"I love you too Bruce. If it would make you feel better I'll call or text you when I get home." Elizabeth kissed him goodbye after saying she loved him and drove home.
Once Elizabeth got home she opened the door and walked into the kitchen to start the coffeemaker before showering. But to her surprise her mom, grandmother, and Cousin Darla were all staring at her with identical smirks,
"So walk of shame is it, dear cousin?" Oh how Elizabeth was tempted to throttle her cousin at that moment.
"Have a good night with Bruce, sweetie?" That question from any other mother would seem harmless, but Elizabeth knew from her mother it had a double meaning.
"Now dearies, let the girl get some coffee before we interrogate her about dear Bruce." The way that Elizabeth's grandmother said that she knew there was no chance of running out of the kitchen without explaining what happened the night before, but it didn't mean Elizabeth couldn't take her time fixing herself a cup of coffee no did it? Elizabeth knew when she sat down at the table; her face turned a bright red when their heads turned looking at her expectantly.
"Fine, fine I'll tell you what happened. We ate dinner, almost kissed, I knocked some sense into the man, kissed admitted our dying love for one another, and fell asleep on the couch-fully clothed Darla, and woke up in the morning and had breakfast. Thus here I am." Elizabeth tried to make it as short and sweet as possible.
"Told you sweetie, all you had to do was fight a little and he caved into his wants." Gram was saying I told you so, without actually saying I told you so. Elizabeth's mom patted her shoulder in her mothering way, while Darla was trying to ask if Bruce and I had 'done the deed.' Elizabeth thought that this was why her family was crazy and yet she still loved them craziness aside.
