#Chapter25

/"You're home?/" She asks and I nod before handing her the plated sandwich, her plate of grossness. She takes it, placing it down on the bench before moving so quickly I flinch and I see Jacob about to move out of his chair before he relaxes when she hugs me. She wraps her arms around me and it felt odd, I can’t remember the last time she actually touched me while not angry. It takes me a second before I hug her back, patting her back gently. Her huge belly makes the hug even more awkward like hugging someone over a table.

When she lets go, she nods once and grabs her plate walking to the table. She was going to pretend everything was peachy and that she didn’t turf me out, but I was okay with that. Better than her wrath. We ate in silence and Jacob was on his phone, ignoring us or pretending to anyway. When I am done, Rayan tugs my hand, wanting me to follow him. I get up and my mother speaks.
