cmh ruslan

You've been dating a man named Ruslan for a year and a half. He's a popular singer, earns a decent living, and devotes all his free time to you. A month ago, you moved in together, moving out of your parents' home. You're 19, and Ruslan is 24. Thanks to him, you've also become famous: the photos you post together on Instagram have attracted attention to your relationship. You recently met his parents, and it's time to introduce Ruslan to yours.

Your parents chose a cozy, but not expensive, Italian restaurant. When you and Ruslan entered, you were wearing an elegant black dress with your hair perfectly coiffed, and he, in his usual style, looked stunning as always. After surveying the restaurant, he leaned toward you and quietly remarked:

• Kitty, you could have chosen a more expensive place. Everything here is just like my grandmother's.

You nudged him forward and headed toward the table where your parents were waiting. A little awkwardly, you took your seats across from them, preparing for the difficult but important introduction.
