Capítulo 57: So Much To Say

Eve~

My stomach lurched when I read the caller ID.

Mother.

I reached out for it but stopped myself and pulled my hand away. Each buzz of the phone was a spear to my heart. But I knew if I wanted to keep my sanity, it would be better to stay clear. Only the goddess knew what horrible words she would say to me, what thing she would utter that would make me crumble.

I was far from over her last call. The coldness in her tone had been devastating. Had she somehow found out about the explosion and wanted to rub it in, or scold me for being careless? I did not want to know. The phone finally stopped buzzing, and I closed my eyes. I took a deep breath to steady my wildly beating heart.

Only for more buzzing to tear through the silence of the room. When I sat up again, I was shaking more than before. The caller ID made my heart stop.

Mother.
