Back home during dinner with his mother, Ray said:"Don't wait up for me tomorrow, I'm going to dinner at my girlfriend's pce, and the day after tomorrow I've invited her over to ours. Hope you don't mind?"

  Hearing her son's words, Amy was surprised. She knew very well that the fear of his potential death held him back from getting close to people, as he didn't want to cause them pain.

  Even she herself didn't know how she would cope if the worst did happen. So she was very surprised that a girl had appeared in her son's life who managed to make him overcome his principles.

  If other parents would be armed by their child bringing a girl home at such a young age, Amy, on the contrary, was overjoyed.

  Her son had been working since he was twelve, while still managing his studies, and considering the fact that his life could end at any second, she was genuinely happy for him. That's why she said:

  "So there's a chance I'll see grandchildren after all. Despite your build, I hope your dy love doesn't weigh two hundred and eighty kilos."

  "Old woman, when you see the daughter-in-w your son is bringing into this house, you'll want to carry me around on your shoulders," Ray said jokingly.

  They both knew Amy was far too young and beautiful to be called an old woman.

  "Maybe I would, but we both know I couldn't handle that kind of weight," Amy said, then added seriously: "I'm genuinely happy for you."
