I walked into the house, not immediately seeing anyone.
"Hello?" I called.
It wasn’t uncommon for my mother-in-law to just show up, but usually Samantha warned me ahead of time.
I heard movement coming from the kitchen, and then my mother-in-law appeared with a towel in her hand, drying some dishes.
"Hey," I said, walking over and giving her a hug.
"What brings you here today?"
"Oh, just thought I would stop by and see my daughter and grandbabies."
That was code for she was bored and wanted some company.
I didn’t mind; I loved having her around.
But I did have a surprise planned for Samantha tonight, and her being here kind of messed those plans up.
I decided to keep quiet about it for now; hopefully I could still pull it off without her finding out.
"Can I help with anything?"
I asked, eyeing the stack of dishes in the sink.
"No, I’ve got it. Unless you wanted something to eat; there’s Jell-O in the fridge."
I shook my head.
"Nah, I’m good. Thanks though."
We chatted for a little while longer, catching up on each other’s news, and then I heard the garage door opening.
"Bryce’s here," I said, hearing the rumble of his car pulling in.
My mother-in-law smiled, getting excited.
"I didn’t know he was coming over."
"He’s not."
A Surprising Homecoming
I stood up from the kitchen table, my chair scraping against the tile floor.
The sound of his engine cut off, followed by his car door slamming.
My mother-in-law set down the dish towel and gave me a puzzled look.
I walked toward the garage door, my footsteps echoing in the quiet house.
She hesitated for a moment, then followed behind me.
I reached for the door handle leading to the garage, turning it slowly so I wouldn’t make any noise.
Through the small window in the door, I could see Bryce’s silhouette moving around his car trunk.
I turned back to my mother-in-law, putting my finger to my lips to let her know to be quiet.
She nodded, her eyes wide with curiosity.
As I opened the door, Bryce's voice drifted in, "I hope you're ready for a surprise."
A Surprising Homecoming
My mother-in-law gasped softly, whispering, "You knew about this?"
Standing in the kitchen doorway, I watch my mother-in-law scrubbing dishes, her back turned to me.
She hums softly, completely unaware of my presence.
Each plate is meticulously wiped clean before she places it on the drying rack.
The afternoon sun streams through the window, casting a warm glow on her as she works.
I hesitate for a moment, wondering whether to announce myself or wait until she finishes.
A Surprising Homecoming
She moves to put away a stack of plates in the upper cabinet, stretching to reach.
I step forward quietly, my footsteps masked by the sound of running water and clinking dishes.
