As he whispered into the phone, he quietly tip-toed down the stairs.

“Good news, Madam. Mr. Sean has just brought home a beautiful girl. They are in his room right now,” he said.

girlfriend, he would tell us.”

“What do you know? Sean is always so proud and moody. What if he scares th girl off because I’m not there to keep an eye on him?”

Every time she introduced a potential date to Sean, he would always act like they were just children to him and refused to respond to a single comment they made. Watching them interact was enough to make her panic.
