Roar
“Come in!” Monica cried, holding out her arms.
Her stepmother seemed genuinely happy to see them, despite the short notice and it being the Fourth of July. Pamela had expected them to be celebrating with friends from the Air Force Academy and hadn’t wanted to intrude. To be honest, she thought they’d suggest she and Kristoffer come down the next weekend, instead.
Kristoffer’s hand at the small of her back helped tamp down her nervousness. How would Dad react to him? She wanted them to hit it off, but he might not be too happy about Pamela’s plans given Kristoffer’s marital status.
Speaking of which, her smiling dad came up beside Monica. “Here’s my girl!” He reached out to give Pamela a bear hug that stole her breath away. “So good to see you, Punkin. It’s been too long.”
Oh, Dad. Don’t use that nickname today!
But Pamela laughed the moniker away to diminish its power. Another childish nickname to live down, although Kristoffer hadn’t pounced on the Sunshine one her mom used.
