"So you are all eating without me huh? Even you wifey?" Ian's voice echoed the dining room and as if she was possessed, Mary found herself standing and rushing towards the man, jumping on him and crossing her legs on his waist hugging him tightly. Ian was caught unaware but the man was able to reflexively catch her on time as he hugged her back with the same amount of energy, a huge smile plastered on his face.
"Wooah Babe I'm here I am back I'm sorry I took long I missed you so much." Ian replied back as if it was the most natural thing for him to do. "Aaah! Honey! Look at them! " Mother Mo tugged her husband's shirt excitedly as she fangirled over the couple, taking care not to startle them though.
Something both Ian and Mary did not realize was that their distance and the fact that they had not seen each other in a month made them miss each other secretly and for Mary, her feelings for Ian were slowly sprouting without her knowledge.
