A few minutes later, Hope has left to refill her martini, and Daniel, Ryan and I are in the living hall, waiting for my parents so that we can finish lunch so I can get out of here.
Daniel sits on the couch, watching me, taking up far too much space for a single human being. The man has an atmosphere. His gaze has actual weight, like a touch. It's unnerving.
"Stop staring at me-you're freaking me out," I grouse.
"Why do your grandma hate you so much?"
"None of your business." I shoot him a glare, then go back to staring at the front door. "Why do you care, anyway?"
I hear the shrug in his voice when he answers. "I don't really, but I guess I can't understand why an old woman wouldn't stop complaining about her granddaughter. And –forgive me— especially at your age."
"Are you trying to tell me that I'm old?"
I'm not looking at him, but nonetheless feel his gaze sharpen. "You're dodging the question. Which means it's serious and has probably been going on for years."
Exasperated, I throw my hands in the air. "How on earth would you know what it means?"
"I know women." I don't reply for that since I knew he's right. Though he's not a playboy, I'm pretty sure he has a pretty good record with girls.
"Finally, you both are here," Grandma exclaims when Mom and Dad walks inside. "Ryan and Allison were waiting for you both. You can't make newly weds wait like this, Leah," she scolds causing the smile plastered on Mom's face to vanish.
"Ryan and Allison?" Mom asks, settling on one of the couch and Dad follows her lead.
"Yeah, your daughter and son in-law," Grandma said, glaring at me.
Mom looks at me for few seconds, her eyes softens. She shakes her head in amusement. "Mother, Allison married Daniel. He's my son in-law while Ryan is Daniel's cousin. You have mistaken," Mom announces while I move towards Daniel. I wink at him.
"What?" Grace snaps, her eyes widening in shock. I smirk slightly but doesn't open my mouth.
"You ungrateful brat," Grandma snaps, rising to her feet. Hope steps forwards but I shake my head at her —a silent order for her to maintain her calm— and sighs. "I knew that you were up for something but I didn't expect you to do something like this.."
