My fork scrapes along my plate loudly, and I notice that Johnny winces with only a little satisfaction. I'm being petty, I know, but I couldn't resist. John's right across from me, eating as politely as possible and sweet talking my Mum.
They begin to debate about the current president, good naturedly, and Mer cuts in occasionally. As the dinner drags on though, it starts to get a little funnier. My Mum, Mer, and Maddie begin to get tipsy from the wine they're drinking with dinner.
"And so I told him," My Mum giggles, "that if he didn't have stick up his ass, he could possibly be capable of maybe sort of being good-looking."
She's making no sense, but it's funny nonetheless. Lauren and Johnny catch my eye as they giggle. I chuckle along with them, glad the dinner isn't quite so awkward anymore.
"Mum?" I say when finished eating. "I think you and Mer need to sober up a bit. A movie on the couch maybe?"
Mum grins. "That sounds lovely dear. I tell you what- you get it running and then I'll pop along to watch!"
"Okay." I smile, slipping out of my seat towards the lounge.
My fingers slide over the DVDs in the cupboard, and I'm unsure of what to choose. In the end, I pick one at random, slide it into the player and turn up the volume.
I hear Meredith hushing everyone in the dining room. "Shhh." She says. "It's starting!"
I laugh to myself, walking back into the brightly-lit kitchen. "Mum, if Maddie comes with us, can we light the brazier outside?"
"Of course." She smiles up at me. "You could even make s'mores if you want to."
"Thanks Mum." I kiss her on the cheek. "You're the best. Now hurry, the movie's starting!"
Her and Mer take their glasses and head to the lounge, giggling as they go.
I sink back into my chair, shaking my head. "How embarrassing." I mutter.
"Maddie," I hear John say kindly, "you should probably stop with the wine now."
I mentally aw. It's nice that he cares, I suppose.
