Andrea worried at the silence on the other end of the line.Why was her daughter now so hesitant to speak?“Rory?” she prompted.
She heard her daughter draw in a deep breath before slowly releasing it.
“Mom, I know you only want what’s best for me, and I know that you’ve always respected my decisions. It’s just… even though I know the type of person you are, I’m not sure how you’ll take this news,” her daughter spoke frantically.
Andrea's heartbeat started to race as she considered her daughter’s words.
“What is it, sweetie? You know you can tell me anything. I promise I won’t judge,” she said reassuringly.
“I know, Mom. That’s why I love you so much,” Rory humbly gave out. “James asked me to marry him, and I said yes.”
“Oh, honey. That’s great news. You know I love James.”
Andrea heard Rory sigh through the phone. Her words had relieved her daughter. “So, you're happy? We have your blessing?”
“Of course, Aurora. Always. I love you. This is such wonderful news.”
The two chatted for another twenty minutes as Rory rambled on about her engagement and other details. She was excited for her daughter and happy that she’d found love.
There would be at least one thing to celebrate, Andrea thought to herself.
