"You already talked to my mom?" Mandy asked, shocked and swatting Sheldon's chest in disbelief. He grunted at the impact, but grinned anyway. "I'm surprised she didn't try to kill you when you did."
"I believe her exact words were, 'Eh, she could do much worse.'" The three laughed for a moment, before Shlee pulled herself out of the group hug.
"When I agree to marry you, Eldon, I would like my family to be there as well," the werewolf said. Shelly heard the note of discomfort in the woman's voice, and understood. Sheldon had spoken to Mandy's mother, but not Shlee's parents? Granted, the timing wasn't that great, but apparently that wasn't her brother's strong suit. But then again, when did he have the time to get the rings, and talk with Alloria, much less the ever-busy-Pillar-of-Earth anyway?
