Not in any way sarcastic either, it was genuine. She wanted him to just say it, stop beating around the bush and just say it. Weird parental things, it wouldn't get old; not ever.
He was only quiet for a few more seconds, now just deciding he should just admit it. Admit how he felt, it would make his mother happy. Probably. She seemed happy.
"Fine," he said, amused. "I suppose it...it is serious."
It felt so weird, but liberating, to say that. It felt correct, it felt like the right answer.
