"It's nice to meet you both. I'm Theodore A Nott."
"Ah, yes, Theodore, the boy who shunned my daughter all last year."
Wide-eyes turned to her mom, "I thought you promised dad would be chill." She hissed.
A shrug. "His tone sounds rather frosty to me."
"Mom! This is meant to be Theo's first nice Christmas in years!"
"You're worrying too much, dear. Your dad's just teasing. He's already started planning your wedding."
"Wha-I don't want that either!"
Theo watched with a soft smile.
So this is what 'family' looks like.
