Melanie held up the spatula like a weapon. “If you say one more word about grandchildren today, I’m going to take you out.”

Her mother was dressed in a long skirt and blouse. “Is there coffee?”

Melanie nodded, her eyes taking in her mother’s attire before returning to her pan of french toast. “Where are you going?”

“I have an appointment.”

“With…”

“As you so eloquently used to tell me in your youth, none of your beeswax.”

“You’re not going to a sperm bank, are you? Taking matters into your own hands?”

“No, but it’s something I may think about in the future.”

“You want syrup?”

“Please.”

Melanie slathered her mom’s french toast before passing her the plate, and her mother pointedly checked the clock. “You’re running late.”

Melanie cracked an egg into a bowl. “I know. Do you need a ride?”

“No. Are you sick?”

“No.”

“Did you get fired?”

“No.”

“Quit?”

“Ma, I’m just running late. I couldn’t sleep last night, then I overslept this morning, that’s all. But I can give you a ride wherever you need to go.”

Her mother raised one eyebrow. “Would I be right in assuming this has something to do with the man you were kissing on the front porch last night?”

Melanie closed her eyes. “Yes.”

“He’s very handsome.” She stood up and walked to the stove. “I’ll finish making your breakfast while you get dressed for work.”

“In a minute.”

“Do you want to talk about it?”

“No.”

“Greg has been gone a long time.”

“Mom, I said I don’t want to talk about it.”

A car horn honked in the distance. “That’s Loretta. She’s driving me. Sorry I won’t have time to finish your breakfast.”

Melanie scowled. “I wish you’d tell me where you’re going.”

“Not just yet, dear, but soon. I still need to iron out the details.”
