Kapitel 61: Chapter 61: Tiffany

"I promise, Mom, I'm doing great," I say into the phone as I grab my last minute script changes off the printer to take downstairs. "It was rough at first and I still have my moments. But I feel stronger every day."

She sighs. "I just wish you had come home instead of gone to Detroit. I would have taken care of you."

"I wouldn't have even gone to Detroit if Rowen hadn't practically man-handled me into the car." Grabbing my head seat, I make my way to the stairs and the newsroom. "Besides, I didn't want you to see me like that. I was too ashamed."

"Honey, you should never be ashamed around me."

"That's easier said than done and you know it. I never wanted you to find out those things, Mom. I know you and I have a good relationship. But some things your mother never needs to know."

"I know, I know. Just promise me you'll come home soon to visit. It's been too long."

"I promise. But hey, I have to go. I've got about five minutes until my show starts."

"Okay dear. I love you."
