You unlocked the door to your apartment, swinging the door open. Max and Ruby's leashes slipped out of your hold, and they raced inside before you could stop them. You stepped inside, closing the door behind you and slipping off your shoes. You threw your bags onto the floor, walked to the couch, and fell face first onto it. You were about to fall asleep when your ringtone blared. You fished your phone out from your back pocket and answered the call.
"Hello?" You muttered.
"(Y/n)! How are you? It's been a while since we talked."
You yawned. "Hi, mom."
"Oh, did I wake you up? I'm sorry."
You sat up. "No, it's fine. Don't worry about it."
"So, I have a surprise for you." You could hear her smile through the phone.
"What is it?" You asked, genuinely curious.
"Your father and I are coming to visit!"
Your brain instantly woke up. Mom and Dad? Coming to visit?
You tried to play it cool. "When will you get here?"
"In two days."
You sighed in your head. "I have to work."
"Oh. Well then, why don't we meet you at your apartment when you're done?"
You winced. Here we go. "Well, I, uh... I also have a date that night."
Your mother gasped. "Really? With who?"
You smiled. "His name's Ethan, and he's a really sweet guy. He took me on a sort of vacation to a convention this weekend. We just got back from it."
"Well, I can't wait to meet him. Hey, why don't we all go to dinner that night?"
"But, Mom-"
"I gotta go, sweetie. Love you. Bye!" She hung up.
You groaned, throwing your head back. You should've expected this to happen. You flipped through your contacts on your phone before clicking on Ethan's.
