"I guess I should get dressed, too," said Stephen sheepishly, watching her walk around fully dressed. It only took him a handful of minutes to pick a pair of shorts, and an older gym s.h.i.+rt, and together the couple walked out into the kitchen to see Theresa Willow already doting over a cup of coffee.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
Usually they played the careful charade of pretending Grace didn"t sleep with him every night, but due to how busy today was likely to be, Stephen had informed his mother that she was sleeping over last night. As had been expected, it was met with no resistance.
"There they are," Theresa beamed, putting down her newspaper. "How did you sleep?"
"I"ve slept better," replied Stephen, a bit too honestly.
"Probably because you knew you had so much to do today," Theresa responded, positively.
Stephen avoided looking at Grace, lest he find himself once again in an awkward situation. Thankfully, Grace had already moved on.
"Thank you so much for letting us have the dining set," replied Grace brightly, as she sat down with her own cup of coffee. "I can"t wait to see how it looks on our balcony!"
"Oh, it"s my pleasure, dear. It"s about time someone got some use out of it! If it stays here, it"s just going to collect dust!"
"Same for the couch as well, Mom," said Stephen. "I appreciate that you"re letting us have it. Otherwise the new place will be kind of spa.r.s.e."
"Anything I could do for you two, you know that," smiled Theresa, a bit sadly. "I just know I"m going to hate seeing you move your things out. It feels like the end of an era."
"You know I"m still sleeping here for the next few days, right?" Stephen replied.
"I know, I know," Theresa waved. "It"s just a mother"s sentiments at her eldest son sprouting his own wings and moving on."
Stephen forced a smile, before reaching out to pat her hand, "It"s going to be okay, Mom. It"s not like I"m never going to be around ever again."
"I know, sweetie. Plus, I know you"ll be in good hands as well," she gestured to Grace, who blushed a lovely color of red. To Stephen, there was no more beautiful sight than Grace with slightly flushed cheeks.
