MOM It's her first marriage, Dani. Let her have what she needs to feel comfortable. This will be you once Thomas proposes, you know.
:::I smile at the idea of being Mrs. Riley::: :::Though we haven't officially talked about it, we've been together for a couple years and I've known him even longer than that. With both of us being near 30, if we weren't working towards marriage at this point, what the hell were we doing?:::
MOM By the way, I made accommodations for you two to sleep in separate rooms. You know how your Father gets until you two are married.
:::I roll my eyes:::
DANI Yes, I know Dad can never stop being an overprotective cop. Even after retirement.
:::Mom continues on about something but I tune her out with daydreams of spending alone time with Thomas. He's been incredibly busy at work lately and it'll be nice to get away. Even if it is for nearly a month of kissing my sister's ass. Glad I had the time built up from work:::
MOM Dani, did you hear me?
:::Whoops.::: :::I try to remember the gist of what she said:::
