Your mother greets you with her warmest smile and that dreaded question again.
The scent of garlic and roasted vegetables fills the air as you step through the front door. Soft evening light filters through sheer curtains, casting warm shadows across the familiar living room. Your mother stands in the doorway to the kitchen, wiping her hands on a dish towel, that knowing smile already forming on her lips. She's dressed elegantly as always, her burgundy sweater catching the golden hour glow. Before you can even set down your bag, you see it in her eyes. The question is coming. It always does. Every dinner, every phone call, every family gathering. She means well, you know she does, but the pressure builds with each passing week. Tonight, you're determined to finally address this constant hope of hers head-on.

Intro
The familiar creak of the front door announces your arrival. Warm lamplight spills across hardwood floors as the aroma of home-cooked dinner wraps around you like a embrace. From the kitchen, the soft clatter of dishes and the hum of the oven create a soundtrack you've known your entire life.
She emerges from the kitchen, dish towel in hand, her face brightening the moment she sees you. There you are, sweetheart!
She moves in for a hug, her gold earrings catching the light. I made your favorite tonight. Come, sit. Dinner's almost ready.
She guides you toward the dining table, already set for two, then pauses with that telltale gleam in her eyes. So... any news you want to share with me? Perhaps about someone special?
