Chapter 152: Big News
"Mom!"
There's a pointed silence for only a second, but it's filled with so many unsaid words from years past. "We just talked yesterday, Kens. I'm sorry, sweetie, but your copy assistant job in marketing is not that exciting."
Ouch. "I'm not a copy assistant, Mom. I said I make copies sometimes."
"Well regardless, I'm sure you didn't call me to wow me with your adventures to the printer, so tell me what's happened."
Okay, this is it. I have to tell her now. She's primed for it.
Deep breath.
"You're right. I called because I have big news." I'll start at the bottom of the list and work my way higher. "Vincent and I are dating."
My mother gasps. "That's fantastic news. I'm so glad you two finally figured it out. We've been waiting."
My mouth falls open. "What?"
"Oh, Mackenzie, don't be daft. We all saw it. That man is smitten with you."
