The door to my bedroom opened again and there stood Mom looking positively stunning.
“Hubba-Hubba!” I said and tried to whistle, but I was smiling too much to whistle.
“Wow, you don’t look half bad yourself handsome.” She said as she leaned down and gave me a kiss on my cheek.
John stood up and gave Mom a one armed squeeze followed by a peck on the lips.
“I’ll only be a minute.” He said.
While Mom and I waited for John to get changed I went into the armoire and retrieved the cardboard dragon to show her.
“He didn’t even tell me he was giving it to me.” I said and I almost got choked up again.
