Chapter 22: Family Bonds

As the sun rose over the horizon, casting a warm glow over the city, Roman and Sasha found themselves with a rare day off from work. The prospect of a quiet day spent together filled them with excitement, their minds buzzing with possibilities as they contemplated how to spend their time.

But their plans for a leisurely day were soon interrupted by the familiar ringtone of Roman's phone. With a curious glance, Roman answered the call, his eyebrows shooting up in surprise as he heard the voice on the other end.

"Mom? Dad?" Roman's voice was filled with warmth as he greeted his parents, a smile spreading across his face at the unexpected call.

Sasha watched with interest as Roman's expression softened, his features lighting up with joy as he spoke to his parents. She couldn't help but feel a pang of curiosity as she wondered what they were discussing.

After a few minutes, Roman ended the call, turning to Sasha with a smile. "That was my mom and dad," he explained, his voice tinged with excitement. "They were asking about you and wanted to invite us over for a family cookout."

Sasha's heart skipped a beat at the mention of meeting Roman's family, her stomach fluttering with nerves at the thought of making a good impression. "That sounds wonderful," she replied, her voice filled with excitement and trepidation.

With a sense of anticipation, Roman and Sasha made their way to the cookout, the warm scent of barbecue filling the air as they approached Roman's childhood home. As they entered the backyard, they were greeted by the sight of Roman's family gathered around the grill, laughter and conversation filling the air.

Roman's parents, Patricia and Sika, welcomed them with open arms, their faces alight with joy at the sight of their son and Sasha. Sasha couldn't help but feel a sense of warmth wash over her as she met Roman's parents, their welcoming smiles putting her at ease.

As the aroma of grilled barbecue filled the air and laughter echoed through the backyard, Sasha found herself surrounded by Roman's family, their warmth and affection putting her at ease. Roman's parents, Patricia and Sika, welcomed her with open arms, their smiles lighting up the gathering as they embraced her as one of their own.

Roman's sisters, Vanessa and Summer, greeted Sasha with genuine warmth, their curiosity piqued as they peppered her with questions about her relationship with their brother. Sasha couldn't help but feel a flutter of nerves as she found herself under their scrutiny, but she answered their inquiries with honesty and sincerity.

"So, Sasha, tell us about you and Roman," Vanessa said, her eyes sparkling with curiosity. "How did you two meet?"

Sasha smiled, her heart warming at the genuine interest in Vanessa's voice. "We met through work, we actually have a storyline together," she explained, her gaze flickering to Roman beside her. "And we've been getting to know each other ever since."

Summer nodded in understanding, a playful glint in her eye. "And how serious is it between you two?" she asked, her tone teasing yet sincere.

Sasha hesitated for a moment, her mind racing as she searched for the right words. "We're taking things slow," she admitted, her voice tinged with honesty. "We're not rushing into anything and we're not putting labels on our relationship just yet."

Vanessa and Summer exchanged a knowing glance, their smiles widening as they shared a silent understanding. "That's good to hear," Vanessa said, her voice filled with approval. "It's important to take your time and make sure it's right."

As the day wore on, Sasha found herself drawn into the lively conversation, her nerves melting away as she bonded with Roman's family. But as the night progressed, Vanessa and Summer pulled Roman aside, their expressions serious as they spoke in hushed tones.
