"Mom? Dad?"
Damon stopped whispering in his wife's ear to look up at their daughter, who was staring down awkwardly and twisting her foot back and forth.
"Yes, Sophia ?"Emily asked.
"Could you two, um, cool it with the flirting and whispering and kissing and stuff? People are starting to notice."
A deep blush came over her mother's cheeks, while her father tried his best to hold back his laughter.
"We didn't know anyone was paying attention," Emily apologized, elbowing Damon when he started to let out a chuckle. "Um…thank you for telling us. We'll try not to embarrass you in front of your teammates and coach ."
Sophia smiled.
"Thanks, Mama."
"You two are doing great out there!" Emily exclaimed. "Keep up the good work!"
"Tell Nicole to make sure he finishes her jumps ," Damon instructed her.
"Will do," Sophia said, turning on her heel.
As she was walking back to the mat , she smirked to herself. Her parents could be embarrassing sometimes, but it didn't really bother her. And her friends could point and laugh all they wanted.
She would always be thankful to have parents who were in love as hers were.
