Fifty

Isabella

I finally picked up one of Rosa's calls after her missed calls reached twenty.

"Isabella? Are you on a mission to give me a heartache, if you are you are doing it very well. Why haven't you been answering my calls?" she says when I pick up.

"Mi dispiace Mamma Rosa," I apologize.

"Where are you? Why haven't you come back home yet? I am so worried about you," she says. Even though she really sounds concerned, I don't feel it. Did she bring Federico over since I haven't been home for three days? That would be top-notch ridiculous if she did. He would probably be shot at the gate.

"I am alright, Rosa. Stop worrying. I am with Rita. Stop worrying a lot about me. I am not a child," I tell her. Why do I have to keep reminding them of this all the time?
