Now, Tyler handed me the phone.

“Mom wants you.”

I answered and put the call on speakerphone.

“Hi, Diane.”

His voice echoed.

“Emily, sweetheart, I’m so sorry about last night.”

“You don’t need to apologize.”

“I know. My son does.”

Tyler stared at the ceiling.

Diane continued.

“I watched your face when he made those jokes. I should’ve told him to stop.”

“I’m so sorry.”

“And frankly, I’ve gained weight since my wedding too. If Tyler wants to search for people who look different now, he can start with his own hairline.”

I nearly dropped the phone!

Tyler narrowed his eyes.

“What did you say?”

I waved him away.

I nearly dropped the phone!

Then, my MIL added, “Tell Lauren I want my shirts before Sunday’s barbecue.”

My smile faded.

“Sunday’s barbecue?”

“Didn’t Tyler remind you?”

He hadn’t.

Every summer, Diane hosted a family barbecue.

“Didn’t Tyler remind you?”

And suddenly, I understood why Tyler was so upset!
