Indeed. In fact, here's a thing from Chapter 16:

 ‘’Steve, is it me or is that Connor’s voice?’’

 The familiar voice of my mother caused my horrified look. They weren’t even supposed to be here NOW!

 Must have been closer than I expected…

 I slowly turned my head to my approaching family, the smallest one being my sister, the tallest my father and the slightly smaller one my mother.

 I chuckled. ‘’Uh..hi..mom..’’

 Her eyes widened at my voice and instantly bolted towards me, tackling me down and kissing my cheek repeatedly with tears coming out. ‘’Oh, my baby!’’

 ‘’Mom, stop!’’

 ‘’Where have you been?!’’

 ‘’I’ve been where you are now! In The Pridelands!’’

 At that, my mom’s head perked up. ‘’The Pridelands? From The Li-’’

 ‘’Yes! Yes! Let’s not get too carried away!’’

 ‘’Connor, who are they…?’’ Kiara asked me when she raised her eyebrow at my laying frame.

 ‘’Nice way to introduce yourself to my friends, mother..’’ I said as I got up, rubbing my cheek, then looking at Kiara. ‘’My family, Princess.’’

 She blinked repeatedly before looking at them, amused. ‘’They must embarrass you.’’

 ‘’Oh, that’s an understatement.’’

 ‘’Is it?’’ She winked. ‘’I do recall me embarrassing you in front of The Guard, telling them stories of our time together in the past few days.’’

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> ‘’Kiara, don’t…!’’

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> ‘’Do you have a GIRLFRIEND!?’’ My dad said teasingly. ‘’And I thought you were against having a full blown relationship!’’

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> ‘’Dad....’’

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> ‘’Let’s just not get too carried away and have you married.’’

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> ‘’Dad, it’s not like tha-’’

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> ‘’Your father is just teasing you, Connor.’’ My mom said. ‘’Though the fact that you’re with a Princess is amazing!’’

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> ‘’Mom, we’re not-! Kiara, help me out here!’’

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> The lioness sheepishly approached my parents. ‘’Hello…’’

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> ‘’Nice help there, Princess.’’

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> ‘’I don’t see you doing anything!’’

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> ‘’They’ll embarrass me further!’’

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> ‘’They’re YOUR parents!’’

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> ‘’But here you are, royalty, and yet you’re sheepishly walking up to my family.’’

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> ‘’Because i’ve never seen them before!’’

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> A giggle from my mother. ‘’I see you’ve found yourself quite a partner, Connor.’’

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> ‘’You have no idea…’’

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> An elbow to my shoulder, inciting my yelp as Kiara rolled her eyes affectionately. ‘’But he’s right. We aren’t datin-’’

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> ‘’Yet.’’

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> ‘’DAD!!’’ I cried to my smirking father.
