Darren thought he should have guessed this already that his mother had a conversation with Xiu. Now the question was how much did his mother tell Xiu? However, Xiu had no idea what he was thinking about as she answered,
"Yes, I had dinner with mom, and she..."
Darren cut her off as he abruptly kneeled down before her and stared up into her eyes. Xiu leaned back slightly in surprise while he said, "Mom? Did you just call her mom?"
"Yeah," Xiu nodded her head. "She told me I can do it. Why? You don't like it?"
"Like it?" he chuckled to himself. "I feel like I'm floating on cloud nine or something."
He kissed her cheek and Xiu was unable to understand his excitement. What was up with him? Why were his hands on her knees shaking so much? Was it really that important?
"Are you that happy about such a simple thing?" she questioned looking into his eyes in wonder while her hands rested upon his to help his trembling self.
