– This is cool! – Nadya decided to support her potential groom, and at the same time build bridges with her potential mother-in-law. – You probably inherited your mother’s talent in this matter…

Tatyana Dmitrievna smiled flattered, but then Tolik, apparently from an overabundance of feelings, blurted out:

– No, I just pored over this sewer all day and night, and took it home, and my mother helped me…

Tatyana Dmitrievna gave her son such a hard look that Nadya even wondered if the boy would get a belt at home for this simple-minded sincerity.

After tea with homemade cake, which Tolik almost didn’t get (his mother said that sweets were bad for him because he had bad heredity for diabetes), the older generation, under a plausible pretext, left the young ones alone. The potential groom, pale as a sheet, was completely speechless, and Nadya had to take the first step herself:

– It’s strange that we didn’t meet in church, although our mothers have known each other for a long time…

– Why? – Tolik objected. – I saw you.

– Address me as you please.

Otherwise, she felt with him like a teacher with a student.

– Fine. I saw you.

Nadya remained silent in response. And what to say? “Why didn’t you come?”? This is a provocative question. Tolik will either have to admit his shyness, or that he didn’t really like her appearance.

There was silence, which Nadya again had to break herself:

– What other projects have you done at the company where you work?

Tolik shook his head:

– I’ve only recently worked there. This was my first project.

– So you just graduated from college?

– Yes.

How old is he? He is hardly older than Nadya… However, he looks even younger – without glasses he would pass for a teenager.

Nadya tried to stir up the young man again:

– What was your favorite subject at school?

But they didn’t give him an answer – the parents returned to the room from the balcony, where they allegedly inspected mother’s greenhouse (however, it is quite possible that the guest was really interested in this, unlike dad).
