It had happened early that morning. Rose and Liam were packing up the car and getting ready to head back. There was still a surreal quality to it. Her parents had been fine--wonderful, in fact. And Liam had gotten on with them perfectly. Her dad loved him, and even her mother had a hard time finding things to complain about. There hadn't been any slapping.
She introduced him to her parents.
It had been the last thing on her mind when she'd asked him along. In all her dreams, he'd been there. He fixed things. She needed him to fix this. She just needed him there. She wasn't a teenager who need her parents' approval for the guy she was... were they even officially dating? They'd spent a lot of nights in the same bed for people that weren't.
All in all, she was happy they'd come. Even if nothing had happened.
But as they were loading up the car, Rose's dad was heading out to the neighbor's house to fix the toilet. When he was crossing the street, a car came speeding around the corner, headed right for Pete. Rose had screamed and Liam had lunged for him. They might have got a few skinned knees, but they'd probably saved Pete's life.
They'd talked about staying a little longer, but Pete wouldn't hear of it. He was perfectly fine, and he didn't want Rose and Liam missing any more work on his account. So he'd sent them off with a promise that he and Jackie would come and visit them in the fall.
It had meant a later start, and they didn't get as far as they'd planned before having to stop and get a hotel room for the night.
Rose hadn't even bothered to ask for two queens this time.
