Chapter Seven

“Where’ve you been disappearing to the past few weeks?” her mother asked.

Avalyn kept her gaze glued on the display she was assisting her mother with in the middle of the store as she answered. “I was with a friend.”

“A male friend?” The interest in her mother’s tone was blatant.

“Maybe.”

“Where did you meet this mystery person?”

“In the store.” I’m not lying.

“Why didn’t you mention it? That’s fantastic news.”

“Because there’s nothing to mention yet.”

“If you’re staying out that late, there is. I know my child. Why are you being so secretive? Are you trying to hide what you are? You know that never works in the long run.”

“I know, Mom, and that’s not why.” She turned to her mother. It was better to come clean now. She’d made her bed, now it was time to lie in it. “I didn’t want to say anything, because it’s Colton.”

“Colton… I thought that was the Edgeworth boy,” her mother said. Her face clouded over with confusion.

“It is.”

“What are you doing with him?”

“Whatever we choose to. There’s a connection between us I’d never forgive myself if I didn’t explore. I know you guys don’t understand why, or like it. I simply ask that you respect my decision.”

“You know, I’m not the one who’s going to have the major issue with this. I don’t think it’s the best decision you’ve ever made, but your gran…she’s going to hit the roof.” Her mother shook her head. “You need to tell her today. You’ve put it off long enough.”

Avalyn sighed. She knew her mother was right.

“I know. I’ll tell her.”

“Good. Now let’s get this display finished.”

She bit back a smile at her mother’s nonchalance.

“You rock, Mom.”

“I have my moments.
