Romantic And Cute

The conversation with Ned had taken an unexpected turn, one that Hunter was still trying to make sense of. But it sure pleased him to know that his parents seemed to have had a good relationship with Delilah's mother.

"Your mother and Elena used to be best of friends. Your grandmother wanted your father to marry Elena, but even though they grew up as friends, they didn't feel that way about each other. Instead, your father fell for your mother, Benny. It caused quite a stir back then, but my Elena was stubborn," Ned said with a fond smile.

"Elena was a very stubborn woman. I see her in Delilah," Ned said, and Hunter's brows pulled together in confusion when he saw the love on Ned's face.

He sounded like a man who was still very much in love with his late wife, so why was he married to his wife's friend? Hunter mused.

"So, what happened? Why did you elope with her?" Hunter asked, wanting to hear the rest of the story.
