“Are you nervous?” Hex asks, placing a hand on your knee as he drives.

You were going to your family’s home to introduce them to Hex. Problem is, you were suddenly feeling insecure because you knew your family are quite poor compared to your boyfriend so you explain your worries to Hex, mentioning unglamorous food and a shabby house.

“Why does that matter? I’m excited to meet the people that raised the most wonderful person,” Hex reassures with a sincere smile.

Truthfully, Hex was excited as he had heard your stories, and so were your parents who were eagerly waiting for your arrival. Whilst your family are poor, you were tightly knit and happy.

Hex comes from a loveless family who only cares about prestige and his dream was to be accepted by your parents to feel a semblance of what it would be like to have a happy family.
