Jonah shook those thoughts free. He still needed to respond to Eden's text. 'Nothing to be ashamed of. My aunt loves those. She would probably be thrilled to be a part of your movie night'
Aunt Mel would probably be thrilled to meet a girl either of her boys were interested in period. Even though they were in their mid-to-late twenties, she still called him and Troy 'my boys' and fussed over them every time they were at her house. Once a mother, always a mother.
He had a feeling she would really like Eden and not only because she was also a Jane Austen fan. She was kind, smart, and loved the outdoors.
Jonah had gotten his love of hiking from his aunt and uncle. They went on all sorts of backpacking trips when he and Troy were younger. It was a tradition to go to the mountains and hike as a family every Mother's Day even now.
