Mamma, I'm in love with a Criminal

[Name] bit her bottom lip, her [colour] eyes downcast as her mother sat across from her with a weary expression donning her [tone] visage. Today was the day that Mrs. [Surname] would be meeting the apple of her daughter's eye, whom just so happened to be a serial killer on the run.

Oh yeah, [Name] was beyond anxious.

"So, when is he coming?" her mother crossed her arms, unsure as to what could cause the delay.

"Soon," the younger female breathed out, her [colour] eyes flicking to her mum's before returning to their position of staring at the green plastic table.

Beneath the table, [Name] was texting her renegade beau. Itachi Uchiha was running late due to the fact that he was literally running, obviously from the cops. Judging from the massive amount of typos, they weren't too far behind him. With a sigh, [Name] tucked her cell into her purse and straightened her posture.

"He said he's having a rough day at work, but that he should be here soon," she lied coolly, trying to appear calm.

Somewhere in the background, a man asked the owner of the small eatery to turn up the volume on the TV. After the angry blond with whisker birthmarks did so, all eyes were on the screen. There was [Name]'s lover, his back against the wall of some old building while police were closing in on him. When her mother turned to face [Name], purely to make a remark about the youth of today, she saw those wide eyes and knew exactly why her child's partner was absent.

Tearing her watering orbs away from the news station, she looked at her mother and confessed, "Mamma, I'm in love with a criminal."

She took her daughter's hands in her own, squeezing them gently and sighing.

"Hopefully, they'll allow visitors."
