Unexpected reaction
Hannah is about to tell her parents about her long-term relationship with Tom.
Hannah muttered, "I can't do this."
Tom reassured her, "You will do just fine, remember what I told you. If you need me, just shout and I will be right by your side."
Hannah said, "I know. Well, wish me good luck then, Tommy."
Tom beamed, "Good luck, dear. I doubt that you will need it though."
Hannah took a deep breath and entered her parents' house.
Hannah called out, "Mum, dad, I have something I want to---"
She paused mid-sentence because to her great surprise, her parents were suddenly in front of her and both of them were grinning from ear to ear.
Her dad told her, "Honey, if you're here to tell us about your boyfriend, then don't bother."
Her mum added, "Yeah, Tom came to us months ago. Didn't he tell you?"
Hannah gasped. "No, he didn't." She shouted, "Tom, get your butt in here and explain yourself!"
Tom appeared by her side and grinned. "Surprise?"
Hannah rolled her eyes. "What's going on here?"
Tom replied, "I am sorry. I know that I should have asked before introducing myself to your parents without so much as telling you about it. I could not just sit around when we have been dating for years now without your parents even knowing about my existence, for Merlin's sake. So, surprise?"
Hannah unexpectedly smiled. "No need to apologise. I should have told them about you sooner. I take it they like you then?"
Tom winked at her. "Ask them for yourself, dear. They love me almost as much as you do."
