A/N: sorry for the wait! enjoy!!
I went home that day in a daze. Or on a high. Or both.
When I walked in the door and gave my mom a numb wave, she stilled in her work and raised an eyebrow at me. My brother's head peaked over the couch to watch me pass, and my dad's eyes followed me all the way to the stairs. My movements were slow and sluggish, almost as if I was stuck in a dream.

My mom poked her head out of her office and stared me down. "You were with Newt?"
I nodded, still in shock.
Her eyes pierced into me for another few seconds before she exchanged a glance with my dad. He grinned at her.
"Oh," she smiled slightly. "I see."
