You Can Talk to Me

On the ride home Erin was scrolling through her mobile.

She got an incoming video call from mom:

Erin made a shh gesture to Mr.Long and he nodded.

"Darling!" called mom noisily.

Erin tried to turn down the volume on her cellphone.

"Yes mom?" she said smiling.

"I have been trying to call you for days Erin," Mrs.Parker complained.

Erin looked worried, "Oh yeah, sorry. Actually what happened is that I moved out of dad's apartment and got my own.... and my internet data finished and I just didn't have time to renew it." she said trying to sound convincing.

Mrs.Parker paused and continued, "Hmm.. All right darling, I hope the new place is nice. I don't want you to live in some kind of run-down area."

Erin laughed, "No don't worry mom, it's pretty fine."

"So I started work today," she announced happily.

Mrs.Parker became very interested, "Oh excellent, show me what you're wearing."

Erin panned the phone down to show her outfit as she sat in the car.
