Her parents were not kidding because the celebration lasted until evening time and Victor was asked to sleep the night over which he readily agreed. This was a chance to prove his worth to his in-law and he would not miss it for anything - not even for Marcel. Thank God, his cousin couldn't read his mind.
Mimi thought her parents would have gotten bored by now, but no, they were very much eager to welcome Victor into the family and eagerly soaked in every information he gave them about his family. Now her parents couldn't wait to meet with their in-laws - while Mimi dreaded it.
It would be about her wedding and from what she knew of Carmine, Victor's mother so far, if she were to meet her mother, then her life is over. Her body will no longer be hers. They would plan her wedding as quickly as possible and to the barest minimum details.
