My mom comes into the kitchen the next morning and the surprise on her face makes me laugh. I hand her a plate full of scrambled eggs and real bacon. Upon the rare occasion I do cook, it’s for me, and I’m a vegetarian. “I can cook when I want to,” I sassily inform her. She takes the plate and goes over to the table but continues to stare at me like I’ve lost it.

Next Billy comes in and he freezes when he sees me cooking. “What’s going on here?” he whispers to Mom, who shrugs as she eats her eggs. I set a plate down on the table for him and go back to making my fake bacon. It actually tastes like how you’d think fried dog treats would, but I don’t want to tell my mom that. She likes waking up early to cook for us. I don’t know why. Getting up early sucks more than having to cook.

“Thanks?” he replies slowly, and sits down beside my mom.

After I’m done making mine, I join them and try to eat even though I feel their attention on me. Soon enough, I get tired of it and slap the brochures down in front of them. “What’s this?” Mom pages through the pictures of the bed & breakfast in South Carolina.

“I was saving it for your anniversary, but then I thought, why not now? Y’all both work hard, and you deserve a break and some time together.” She’s so excited about this.

“We can’t afford this.” She pushes it away.

“Yes, you can,” I sing cheerfully. “I put in my money from walking dogs and working at the library. Kyle and Nicks added some, too.” Not to mention the donation Devin made to the cause. “Y’all can stay down there for four weeks.” A tear slides down Mom’s cheek. “Oh, I hope you don’t mind, Billy, but I called your work and requested time off for you. They all agreed it’s time for you to use your comp time.” With comp time, you still get paid so I know my mom doesn’t have much more to argue about.

His eyebrows go up. “That’s so generous of you….”

“That’s so sweet of you guys but I can’t accept—” my mom starts.

“Too late. I’ve already called and made reservations. You need to leave tonight. I mean, unless you’re going to let this opportunity pass up and not go.” I add with a somewhat devious grin.

“What’re you up to?” she asks, leaning closer to me.

“Damn, Mom, I want the whole house to myself to have parties and sex with random strangers while my boyfriend watches. Whaddya think?” I wiggle my eyebrows at her horrified expression. “You’ve always been there for me, and I want to do something for you.”

“Seems legit to me, let’s go,” Billy replies eagerly.

“Okay, you go pack. I’m going to smother my daughter with affection.” She kisses my face, making me try to squirm away. That is, until he’s left the room. “What’s really going on?”

“What would be going on?” I snort, resting my arms on the table.
