"Delia, it's so nice to meet you, I'm Amy." Andy's mum gushes as she carefully pulls Delia into a small and welcoming hug before letting go again. "Please, sit down love, make yourself comfortable."
"Thank you, it's nice to meet you too." Delia smiles back politely as she sits on the sofa in the living room.
"Andy told me what happened and I saw the news articles online, I'm so sorry dear. If ever you need anything you can always come to us, now that you're with Andy you're a part of this family." Amy explains warmly just as Andy sits on the sofa next to Delia.
"I appreciate that a lot, thank you." Delia continues to smile to show her gratitude.
"Alright mum, no need to get all sappy." Andy laughs awkwardly whilst looking at his mum.
"Andy, she's just being nice." Delia shakes her head slightly whilst playfully whacking Andy's arm which makes him laugh more.
"You must be Delia!" Andy's dad exclaims as he walks into the living room "Andy has told us so much about you, don't you worry all good things. I'm Chris by the way."
"I forgot how embarrassing parents can be at times like this." Andy shakes his head slightly before regaining his composure "Dad was actually the original band manager before the band signed to the first record deal."
"No way, that's so cool! I apologise, I wasn't aware." Delia was in slight shock and awe knowing Andy's dad helped the band get to where they are now.
"No worries Delia." Chris grins as he goes to sit down in the unoccupied armchair "It was fun whilst it lasted, I couldn't do it now at my age, that shit is tiring."
"Yeah, it's definitely a lot, although I did enjoy seeing all of the different sights." Delia explains as she thinks back to all the cool things she had seen on the road.
"We saw Phantom of the Opera together whilst in New York." Andy tells his parents whilst grinning ear to ear; it was very clear how much Andy loved the musical.
"Again? Andy how many times have you seen that show now?" Chris pokes fun at his son "Seriously, this guy could probably quote the whole musical word for word at this rate, wouldn't surprise me if he did know it that well."
"I think about 6 times live now?" Andy questions himself, clearly he trying to recount the times he's seen it "Delia had expressed her love for the show though and said she hadn't seen it. I wasn't about to turn down the opportunity to see it live again, so I managed to get some last minute tickets in one of the boxes."
"A theatre trip for a first date, when did you become so romantic Andy?" Amy laughs and joins in on the teasing that Chris had started.
"It wasn't actually a first date." Andy begins to explain as he gently takes Delia's hand as if to make a point. "I actually didn't want to fall for Delia so I made a plan of taking her to see Phantom to let her down easy. Safe to say that did not work to plan, but I'm glad it didn't."
"Sometimes we don't realise what's right in front of us before we could potentially lose it." Chris nods slightly understanding Andy's choices "It's good to see you happy again though son, I'm glad the old you is back. No offence, but you were a complete dickhead and it really upset your mother when you cut us off."
"Yeah, it's good to be back." Andy is sincere in his words as he awkwardly looks down at his and Delia's entwined hands. "I'm sorry that I hurt both of you, I seem to have done that to a lot of people in recent years."
"So Delia, do you live in Cincinnati or are you just here visiting?" Amy asks trying to change the subject and rid the slightly awkward silence of the air.
