Fateful Dinner
Everyone was smiling, that was why I didn’t realize until later. Fine silverware, candles lit, lights down low, juicy meat on the table, it was the perfect fine dining meal. My fiancée’s father was enjoying the grilled greens, her brother was laughing at a joke she told. The perfect dinner, until I spilled the wine on my future mother-in-law. I was so flustered, attempting to clean up, I almost didn’t notice the fangs in hanging in her expanding smile. I then froze, looking at my fiancée, who gave me a rueful smile. They had been waiting for any mistake. That was the moment I realized it wasn’t ever the plan for me to make it out alive.
