“And you still don’t know what you’re talking about”Will grinned teasingly and gently tugged her blond ponytail. The next thing she said made him smile and his eyes narrowed “I’m sure, so ma will have me around to harass instead of you. Still not married, I suppose?”
William grinned and tousled her hair again. Always the baby girl. But both of them remained unmarried. Will doubted he’d ever want to marry, he just hadn’t found the girl that had been tempting enough and Abi..Well sadly enough, he would understand if she didn’t want to deal with men again for a lifetime. He’d make sure no men dealt with her, anyway.
It felt a bit sad not to have William Sr. there, but his abscense didn’t hurt as much when he heard the other names. Some of them, he hadn’t seen since before he’d been locked up. Will shrugged again and put his hand on her shoulder, squeezing it “Thanks, babygirl.. I have missed you too, it’s nice to be back..So, I’m ready to go inside.. I wanna see the kids, and ma and all. Show me the way”
The first thing Will did was to find his way to the kitchen, where his mother waited. He didn’t say anything when their eyes met, all he did was to walk straight into her arms and embrace her.
