Angie POV

''It's been a while since I had a good home cooked meal'' I say to my mom.

''You gotta come home for that'' my mom says.

Mason is sitting beside me he looks kinda cute. My dad is staring heavily at me.

After seconds, we were all stuffed.

''Need help'' I ask my mom as she is cleaning .

''Anything for you to stay longer'' My mom says with a sad smile.

I'd felt bad. After today I plan to visit a lot more.

We do the dishes quickly and go into the living room.

''Did me working long hours make you hate me'' My mom says.

I knew my mom had to work. She wanted to be a nurse that someone could trust.

From what she tells me. Her parents didn't trust doctors. My grandparents both died pretty young. It inspired my mom to become a good nurse. She is the first black woman to become Head Nurse where she works.

''No mama, I don't. I also want to prove you and Daddy that I can make it on my own'' I say.

My mom laughs. ''I know you don't darling. I miss my parents darling. In the blink of an eye my parents were gone. I don't want that to happen to you.
