Love Began with the First Meeting

That goes without saying that the first day of school is always the most exciting, especially for Mark. He was a teeny bit nervous and scared knowing that his mom and dad wouldn't be there but of course, eventually, he made new friends - they talked about a lot of things and played new games. He was looking forward to his mom and dad picking him up because he was excited to tell them about his day but to his disappointment, they didn't show up.

Both Brian and Molly's hearts broke at the sound of Mark's upset voice. They knew that they had let Mark down and they knew that Mark would always remember that. "Mark, we're sorry we weren't able to pick you up. We know how important this day was to you. It's just that your mommy's eyes started to hurt again so we went to see the doctor," Brian explained in a light voice, "I'm sure you understand that, right?" he said.

"Mommy's eyes? How is she now?" Mark asked, worried, suddenly forgetting his own disappointment.

Brian turned to look at Molly who was glaring at him. She couldn't believe how easily he was lying to his own son - not a trace of guilt. But Brian ignored her. He lifted his eyebrows and continued, "I'm not sure. The doctor's still checking up on her. Mark, can you stay there until mommy's check up is done? And then we can come pick you up and we can have dinner together. You can think about where you'd like to eat, okay?" he said.

"Okay," Mark said. Mark told Brian to take care of Molly then they both hung up. He was such a mature boy who was already worrying about his mom. He was indeed very sweet and sensible.

"I can't believe you just lied to our son," Molly accused.

"I did not," Brian replied absently. He glanced up at Molly with a blank look on his face then continued driving.
