章節 392: Toilet Talk

Sammy wasn't talking to Mom. Excuse me, what? 

Why? When? How?

This was the first I was hearing of any of this. Sammy certainly didn't give anything away that implied this was all happening. I even asked her this morning if she texted Mom yet that she's arrived safe and sound, she told me she did, but now I'm wondering… did she?

Mom heard my sudden silence from the other end of the line, and knowing me all too well, heard every one of my unspoken questions as well, and addressed them all with a single answer, "Listen, I know you're a sweet, considerate, caring boy… but dear, really, you shouldn't worry too much about it, okay?" 

But the sweet, considerate, caring boy I was, I promptly ignored her words, and asked, "What happened, Mom?" 

"My, my, my," She gave a quiet chuckle. "Just can't resist, can you?"
