Back Again

We lounge around in our living room for an hour. She spent her time in front of her laptop while I preoccupied myself with my cellphone.

I decided to video call ana.

"Hello son. How are you two doing?" she greeted me happily.

"Hi ana. Jade and I are doing good. We just ate our lunch."

I saw in my peripheral vision that Jade looked at my way. I had my earphones on so she didn't hear my mother.

"That's good. I hope you two ate well. Which hotel are you staying now?"

"We had roasted lamb ana and it was really good. We are staying in Rosewood Hotel."

"Oh wow. A roasted lamb is a hearty lunch. I'm glad. How is your hotel? I hope it's near the broadcasting station."

"The hotel is very good ana and it's near. I wonder why I haven't stayed here before."

She smiled.

"That only means that Ms. Dionna is good at finding the best hotels. What time will you be in the station?"
