“Your father told me you seemed well acquainted with one of the artists at Uniquely Inked,” Ma says, laughter in her voice.

Walking out of my office, I reply, “Pops talks too much.”

“Don’t be fresh, Juliette, he means well. He keeps me informed on what’s going on in your life.”

“Don’t act like I don’t tell you things. He’s just around more often and sees it firsthand.”

“It happened last week, and you’ve failed to mention the kiss in the shop,” she laughs. “I heard the fellow is very good-looking.”

“He told you he kissed me? Ugh…” I groan. Reaching for my coffee at my station, I take a sip.

“He did, and your father said Lee reminds him of a younger version of himself.”

I run a hand over my face. “Oh, dear Lord.”

“Maybe you can fill me in on him at dinner this weekend. You can bring Lee if you want.”

My lips pinch together. I inhale deeply through my nose, hoping to let go of the frustration beginning to course through my body. This is why I don’t date. I don’t bring men home to meet my parents.

I rub the back of my neck. “No, Ma. I won’t be bringing Lee. It’s not like that.”

Rachel points at the clock, signaling my appointment is here. “Ma, I have to go, I have a three o’clock.” Nodding my head at Rachel, she leads one of my regulars to my station. “I’ll be there. Quinn said she’s tagging along.”

“She’s always welcome. She knows that. And if you change your mind about Lee, you can bring him too.”

“Talk to you soon. Love you.”

“Love you too, sweetheart.”

Pulling my phone back, I end the call.

Great, now Ma knows about Lee. This just keeps getting better and better.
