I always felt uncomfortable when elderly people hugged me, I don't something about them just threw me off.


I don't know whether it was their wrinkly skin.


Or the particular smell they all seemed to have.


But surprisingly I didn't quite mind hugging her, I just didn't know who the hell she was.


She let go of her hold on me, her brown eyes gleaming with excitement.


I looked between her and Matthew waiting for one of them to break the ice and speak.


"This is my mother" Matthew finally said and then realization suddenly hit me.


The one who set us up on a date in the first place.


She looked slightly different from what I pictured in my head. I thought she would look like one of those evil step mothers from a Disney princess movie.


"Oh" I paused "It's so nice to finally meet you" 


"Matthew has told me so much about you" I said
