Chapter 5

“You didn’t have to come mum.”

“Of course I had to come dear this is important for you dear. I am the only family you have.” Mrs Burn was saying as she sat on the couch her feet tucked beneath her.

She was an attractive woman in her late forties with short cropped brown her and intelligent eyes. She looked more like Tracy’s’ sister than her mom. She liked to take care of herself. Her body was toned, a face with clear skin that could rival any twenty year old.

“You didn’t want me to wait for you to post the pictures on face book. Anyway I forgot how to log on.” Mrs Burn wasn’t big on technology. But she did know her face book and twitter. She was no old lady but it amused her to think she could become a grand mom soon. Better start playing the part.

She was impressed by Guy. He is so tall, she remarked to Tracy. Mrs Burn was smitten.

“We should invite Guy for dinner. Since he is your boyfriend.’ There was a sparkle in her eyes. Mrs Burn wanted her daughter to find a good man and settle down. And this one was the one, she decided. He smelt expensive too. Must be them imported perfumes, she decided.

Tracy could imagine Guy sitting there, eating her moms home cooked meal. Some pie possibly. That was definitely a far cry from the exotic meals he was used to.

“I will ask him.” Tracy was polite. She didn’t want to shoot down her mom. There were not yet that serious to be meeting each other’s parents. She could scare him away.

Mrs. Burn could inadvertently start talking about weddings. That would surely send the poor man running.

It’s his decision, she thought as she got into the bed she was sharing with her mom. This was her life; he had to know her for who she was. He could either accept or not.

The day of the launch came faster than they could finish their rehearsals. They were all excited and nervous at the same time. It was going to be fine, they said to each other. But sweaty brows spoke otherwise.

Mrs Burns sat in the audience with Guy by her side. He had been very accommodating, picking Mrs Burns from home and sitting with her too. They seemed to get along fine and Guy had survived her home cooked meal. He had eaten every last morsel on his plate, Tracy was sure he was being polite. But he seemed to genuinely enjoy their evening!

They were going for celebratory drinks after the show. Guy had reversed a room at his hotel and they were expecting a huge crowd, predominantly their friends.

It was well after one a.m when they made it to the hotel. The moody was funky and light. It had been awesome night. Breakthrough had finally come for then. Success was a few days away.

Guy strolled over to Tracy as she chatted with her friends. Drawing her aside he moved over to the end of the room.
