When I got home, Mom’s car was parked out front. I was starting to think she didn’t work anymore. Ever since Dad showed up she was home most afternoons. Years ago I would have given anything for this, now it just annoyed me. It was nearly impossible to process all the things going on in my life with her breathing down my neck.

As I dropped my backpack on the ground, I heard voices. I stopped, listened.

“Where was he?” Mom said, then paused.

“What time was this?” she asked.

My chest tightened. Who was she on the phone with and what were they talking about? Was it about my meeting with Dad? If Mom found out she’d put a stop to it for sure. Then I’d never see him again.

“Okay, thanks for telling me. I’ll take care of it.”

I followed her voice into the kitchen. She sat at the table, her shoulders hunched over and the phone pressed to her ear. Her head snapped up when my feet hit the linoleum.

“I better go. I’ll talk to you later.”

“Who was that?” I asked, the minute she clicked off.

“Just a friend.” She stood. “Wanna snack?”

When did my mom turn into Suzy Homemaker?

I shook my head. “Nah. I’m gonna do my homework.” As I trudged into my room, I wished I could call Isaac and talk to him about everything. He’d know exactly what to do.
