Lilian scrunched up her face in protest.
"Dad, Mom, please, can you not arrange any more blind dates for now? I just got out of a relationship. I'm not ready for anything new yet—I need some time to heal."
Another excuse, carefully crafted to stall the inevitable matchmaking machine that was her parents. With any luck, she could ride the "heartbreak recovery" wave for at least a few months.
Tiffany and Daniel exchanged glances, then Tiffany gave a light sigh and waved a hand.
"Alright, alright, fine. We'll back off. You handle your own love life then."
Then she added, as if remembering something,
"By the way, your brother called. He said you should visit A.T. for a change of scene. Take a break."
Lilian nodded eagerly.
"Yeah, I've never been to A.T. before. It's the perfect chance to visit and unwind. Plus, it's been ages since I last saw him and the others."
Tiffany started mothering again right on cue.
