As expected, Britt pounced the moment Eli was asleep. Mandy really should have seen this coming when she told her daughter she was getting married but she had been too optimistic.
"I get that you're lonely and he seems like an okay guy but Mom! You can't marry someone you hardly know! There's no guarantee he isn't putting on a front for you like that creep you married before," Britt said heatedly. "I don't want you to get hurt."
Mandy laughed indulgently. Mikey was the last person on earth who would hurt her since they had come to a mutual understanding. He had never said the words but it was obvious he was in love with her even after such a short time.
"You're sweet, Britt. But I wouldn't say I hardly know him. He was my first love. We lost contact for a long time but everything clicked right away when we reconnected."
Her daughter was stunned. "Your first love?! You didn't date anybody when I was growing up until Lucas…was this guy before my dad?"
