Following Tyler inside, Ele carried in one of her bags but when she saw the unfamiliar woman inside Ele froze in the doorway. She seemed nice enough, and she was Tyler's mother, but Ele couldn't help the wave of shyness that overtook her. Casting her eyes on the floor, Ele murmured a greeting then quickly got out of the way as they went out to examine the car. Staying inside, Ele put away the food items before going to the bedroom to put her bag down. Steeling herself, Ele put her hands in her pockets and went out to where the group was gathered and unloading the cars. 

Standing a little away from Tyler and his mom, Ele went to stand near Eric, leaning against him a little,

"How do you get along with the mother of your boyfriend?"

She asked under her breath.
