My step-Uncle
Food was still in there, but it wasn’t like I was eating in the first place.
I looked up and saw Mr. Stranger—or let’s drop that and call him step-uncle—wearing his coat. They were ready to leave.
I stood from the table.
“We are leaving,” Mom said.
I turned my gaze toward her.
“OK, have fun,” I said, hugging her.
“Of course I will. It's my wedding night,” Mom whispered in my ear.
I shook my head, pulling back.
Only me, my mom, and my stepdad—along with his brother—were left at the table.
