Mom
You should have seen your boyfriend last night. He was incredible.
Caitlin
My fiancé.
I correct her with a smile on my face.
Caitlin
I heard he may have gotten a little pissed at Becket.
Mom
He wasn’t the first, and he won’t be the last.
Caitlin
Ha. Ha. True.
Mom
So are we planning a wedding?
Caitlin
For now, I’m just focused on the baby. Maybe we can plan something after.
Mom
You’re going to elope, aren’t you?
I don’t bother to bullshit her. She’d see right through it.
Caitlin
I don’t know. Maybe.
Mom
Oh, my darling girl. You’ll never know how much alike we actually are. I love you and am so proud of you.
Caitlin
I love you too, Mom.
CAITLIN
