Chapter 32: Little Talks

Nervous doesn’t even begin to describe the emotions infecting every waking thought of my mind.

After my mom and I talked yesterday, she agreed tentatively to meet Felix for lunch the next day at a place of mom’s choosing. Before I reached out to Felix, I made mom promise to be cordial, but I knew already that I would need to remind her again at lunch.

Felix agreed without reluctance. I couldn’t stop the spreading smile across my face. When I let him know that mom got to choose the place and that she was a bit hesitant in meeting him, he reassured me that this was the right course of action and that he would, as always, be on his best behavior.

Before we parted ways, mom and I hugged. She was shaking a little and she asked me to be so careful and safe around “that boy,” saying I was all she had. Of course, I promised and kissed her, telling her I loved her and that I would see her tomorrow.
