Chapter 2
My mother always seemed to forget that I was eighteen and
didn’t require adult supervision. I assumed she was more
worried about me doing something she didn’t approve of in her
absence. I always imagined she thought the worst of me when.
she couldn’t keep track of what I was doing.
“I know.” My mother said seeming to be pleased with herself.
“Why don’t you take Jenny with you?” I could feel my heart start
pounding with excitement. A weekend alone with Nate sounded
perfect!
“Jenny doesn’t–” Nate started to say before I jumped into the
conversation.
“I’d love to go!” Maybe I sounded too excited, but I couldn’t help
- it. My mind was reeling in the possibilities.
Both my mother and Nate looked at me confused. I usually
complained the moment it was suggested I do anything with
Nate, but not this time.
“A weekend in the mountains sounds nice.” I tried to say
nonchalantly.
