Capítulo 28: Chapter 28: NO APOLOGIES

"Hey everyone." Christopher pulled her after him as he entered the kitchen where she could smell something good cooking. "This is Ashleigh; my girlfriend."

You could have heard a pin drop. To Ashleigh it felt like forever but in actuality the quiet lasted just a second or two. A woman was moving forward. She could have been in her early fifties, maybe late forties. She had a huge smile on her face and looked enough like Chris that it left no doubt that it was his mother even though she was a little thing. She gave him a kiss and a hug.

"Hi mom."

Mrs. Jameson turned to her next and gave her a hug too. "Now where did you come from?"

Ashleigh wasn't sure how to answer that question because she wasn't exactly sure what it meant.

"Mom, Ashleigh comes from my job. She works in my building."

"Well you sure are a pretty girl. Ashleigh, is it?"

"Yes, ma'am."
