CHAPTER 15

EMA

“Will you come with me to Mum’s?” I ask while I put the bowl in the trash and get back to the living room. He contemplates over it, like he is going to think hard about it.

“Are you really thinking about this really hard?” I ask with a little pout to my lips

“Oh Ema, I do not really feel like going to see your Mum. You know we’ve never really got along really well” he says, a concerned look on his face.

“I know but she doesn’t really get along with so many people that well you know” he smiles at that

“Yeah right. You drive a hard bargain you know…”

“I know..but I just need some company so it would not look too suspicious you know”

“Yeah I understand what you mean. The thing is even if I go, I do not know how to hold a conversation with her. I always run out of words when I’m around her.” I laugh at that cause its true

“I know...Mum has always been that stoic, I have never understood her really.”
