Informal his ass.
It was fancier than his mother’s Thanksgiving best, and she went all out for every holiday. Without the servants, of course.
“So, Anthony, what was so pressing we all had to be here,” his mother asked, never one to beat around the bush.
The older man sputtered at her direct question. “Well.” He cleared his throat while wiping his mouth with a napkin. “I’d like for the kids to allow me to pay for their wedding. They refuse.”
His mother rolled her hand as if to say “continue”.
Anthony darted a quick look at Sophia who just smiled. “They won’t accept my offer,” he said.
“So I’m here because why?” Lorraine asked again.
“To convince them.” He threw his hands up in the air, and Sophia lost her battle not to laugh. “You hush, child,” he scolded her.
His mother was completely serious when she said, “Do you think my son can’t provide for our girl? That he can’t give her what she wants?”
Sophia’s laughter stopped, and she shot a worried look at Nox. “I know you don’t think that, baby,” he whispered to her. She leaned up to kiss his cheek lingeringly.
“What! No. Not at all. I happen to know he’s very well off.” They all raised a brow at that remark. “Oh, I had to check.” He defended himself. “It’s a gift. I want to give this to them.”
“Oh, Daddy,” Sophia beamed at him.
“If you want to give them a gift, give them a honeymoon, Anthony. Send them to their dream destination,” Lorraine told the man with a gentle grin.
Looking to Anthony, Nox said, “I’d be okay with that.”
He pondered the idea before answering. “Alright. When Sophia was a little girl, she’d always wanted to go to Africa. She was fascinated with their culture.”
“I remember that!” Soph spoke excitedly.
“A safari?” Nox asked her.
“Yes!”
“Safari it is,” he said to Anthony.
The smile lighting her face, the happiness shining in her eyes, was all his heart could ever ask for.
The End.
