After our very delicious but strained dinner,my mom asks me to help her clear the plates.
For a moment, I just look between Bruno Dad nervously. Like two petulant little kids,I don't want to leave them alone.
I then get up slowly,remembering how well Dad and Bruno had been getting along so far.They hadn't gotten into a single argument,unless you're counting the small political debate they had.
Naturally,they were on opposite sides.
"I'll be back,"I tell Bruno with a small smile.
He nod and lets me go.
Bruno must have guessed that my mom is taking me with her with every intention of making sure that there isn't anything fishy happening between us.He also knows I won't say anything.
He made sure to remind me of the rules before we arrived.And the consequences of breaking them.Not that I didn't know.
