Ellen and her husband David were brimming with excitement for their daughter’s forthcoming wedding. Lisa, their eldest daughter, appeared to be radiantly happy with her fiancé Ric. Having graduated from medical school and commenced her career as a doctor, Lisa felt that marrying her soulmate was the natural next step.
Impressed by Lisa’s dedication to her studies and her exemplary character, Ellen and David decided to purchase a house for her. They believed she deserved it wholeheartedly. Though not particularly spacious, the house was perfect for Lisa’s needs.
One evening, Ellen and David received a call from Lisa, who expressed a desire to have a conversation with them. During the discussion, Lisa revealed her wish for Ric to move in with her.
David hesitated for a while, but they eventually agreed because at the end of the day, Ric would soon be Lisa’s husband and moving in together wasn’t a bad idea.
Before truly getting into the wedding planning, Lisa and Ric decided to organize a family dinner so that their families could meet. Ellen and David never met Ric’s parents before so they were eager to do that. However, neither Ellen nor her husband could ever predict that the family dinner would turn into dinner from hell.
Namely, once Ellen, David, and their younger daughter Leah arrived at Lisa’s house, Ric’s parents were already there. They all talked for a while before Ellen, David, and their daughter went outside to prepare the barbecue. At one moment, David and Leah went inside to grab some spices but left the place quickly and told Ellen they needed to go home as fast as possible.
Ellen didn’t even try to push it further because David wasn’t the type of man to exaggerate anything needlessly. So, if something shocked him, it was most likely warranted.
