*As soon as he walked into the living room, I couldn’t take my eyes off him.*
*Tall. Slim. Dark blonde hair. Glasses……simply adorable.*
*Well mannered. Polite. Exactly the type of boy you would bring home to your……Mother.*
*Zack Ellison had just turned 20. He’s my son’s room mate and best friend at Uni. I was just about to find out that this shy, handsome young man would be spending his summer holiday staying at my house.*
I’m sweating and in the middle of an intense yoga session when my son, Charlie, unexpectedly unlocks the front door and comes bounding through with his backpack, guitar case, sports bag, and a huge bag of dirty washing that he’d so kindly saved up for me during his current term at Uni.
‘’Hey, Mum! Your favourite son is home! I hope you have food in. We’re starving!’’
Charlie booms up the stairs, not realising I’m stretching my curves over a yoga mat in the front room.
‘’Thanks for replying to my text and telling me what time you’d be home’’ I sigh deeply, continuing on with sliding into downward dog.
